In the long run, leaving your stereo equipment in an unheated home where the outside temperature drops below freezing and/or below 50 degrees where dampness exists, is not a good idea, and eventually will damage your equipment.
Will audio gear be ok in unheated house
I have a cottage. I drain the pipes and the house is left unheated over the winter. I have been taking my audio gear home (except for the speakers) when I leave in the fall for theft worries, but mostly because I am not sure the equipment will be OK in an unheated house in an often damp environment until the late spring when I return.
It is a pain taking it back and forth and I would prefer to leave it there. Maybe in garbage bags with some bags of dessicant in the garbage bags.
Anybody have any experience with this. I have been unable to find a good answer searching the web.
Thanks
