Once a couple of weeks.
Tell the truth How often do you clean your gear?
C'mon, fess up! Is the last time you cleaned your gear the time you took a picture of it to post on Audiogon!? I'm single and live alone these days. My son tells me I'm OCD as far as cleanliness is concerned. I disagree, I just like living in a clean environment and he's just a slob!;) I like everything clean and my gear to be especially clean, seeing how much time I've spent/spend looking at it. Looking at the photos of various systems here I'd say the majority look very sharp (sorry to say some of them look nasty!!). SO, what is it, how often do you dust off your system? Daily? Weekly? Monthly?? Or worse? I believe, as far as tweeks go, yr system SOUNDS better when it's clean!!;) Maybe I AM OCD!!??

I dust the amps and the electronics every month or two. I dust the speakers every couple of weeks, and I clean them every month or so. (The speakers have a piano black finish, so they look worse when dusty than the rest of the system.) However, as far as your system sounding better when clean versus moderately dusty, well, I gotta side with your son on this one! |
Speakers get dusted once a week. Equipment about once a month. As far as clean equipment sounding better, and clean cars driving better, that seems to me to be beyond dispute. Of course, those are nothing more than halo effects, but so is a lot of high end audio. :-) |

I clean my gear about every couple of weeks or when needed, but since I have dedicated listening rooms I cover everything possible when not in use. This really keeps down on the dust and the frequency the gear needs to be cleaned. I have a dust cover on one turntable, and amp covers for the MBL amps and for all the other gear I went to a fabric store and bought a synthetic silk like materal and made covers for all the rest of my gear, its cheap and effective. |
