Long-Term Storage of Equipment

I will have to box up speakers, Amp, digi-players, and a turntable for several months due to a temporary move.

Apart from temperature-controlled storage, what can I do to make sure that all is well?

I'm thinking about those "silica" packets that we've all seen in new boxes. Apparently it does something regarding humidity...

Any thoughts on whether this is something that I should chack into?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Just bought an external hard drive that came with this brand: Natrasorb.

You can dry it out in the oven. I've contacted them to order some. May be wholesale only though.

Multisorb is the biggest and the best manufacturer of these products based on my research thus far. I think they are wholesale only, but may be happy to send you some samples.

If Multisorb won't help you, I can guide you to some retailers....later....gotta run.

I especially like Multisorb's 40 gram "DriCan." The plastic model can even be recycled in the microwave.

An aluminum version similar to "DriCan" can be purchased retail from:

Budrew, please let me know if Multisorb helps you out, because I would like to try a couple of their plastic "DriCans."
