Moving audio gear in sub zero temperatures


Need to transport my audio gear (turntable. Tube amp, speakers etc on an overnight trip in freezing weather. If they are in a dry vehicle that is parked outside for a night, can it damage anything?

OK Think about what you're putting your beloved equipment in to transport it.. I assure you that, the transportation device your using, has about 10 time the electronics and at least 10 X again in leading edge tech.. You're worried about your gear.. I'd worry about the transportation device FIRST.. LOL  Cold weather and gear.. Dream come true.. Not gonna hurt a thing.

I've seen equipment bounce from one side of Canada to the other in the dead of winter.. Just transported in a regular cargo trailer.. The tractor pulling the trailer is what I'd be worried about.. LOL..

A desert crossing.. YES I'd be worried... Plastic warping all kinds of things happen in the desert.. 

I've fixed equipment in both.. I'll take the cold, when it comes to equipment breaking.. You might get cold.. But the equipment doesn't really care. Keep it dry, and don't let it rattle all the way THERE....
Lots of moving blankets, ay! Tuck your babies in...

What about records?

Tight is right, simple. Make sure things are secure in case of heavy breaking or worse.. You don’t want equipment and records flying around in the event of, something happening.. Going off the road, getting bumped.. la te da.. not too bad.. Equipment in the back of your head is something different.. No tools in the CAB... just a rule of mine.. Gun, pepper spray maybe, no heavy stuff though..
Unless your partner is a bit fluffy :-0 ho ho ho..

Better it’s winter. NOT SUMMER.. Cold is your friend..
