    Do you ever send your pre/pro/amp in to be cleaned or for PM?

    I was just curious if anyone sends their gear in every so often to clean out dust build-up, to keep them running fresh?

        I usually don't routinely send (or do it myself for that matter) my equipment in for PMs. I do more often clean it if it has moving parts. Amps and the pre/pro, Nah. My Pre amp and my pro both are sealed units (no vents) so very little dirt gets in anyway. My amp has vents both top and bottom so the dust flows right through. I've yet to clean my player but guess I should start thinking about it soon. Nah think I'll watch another movie instead.

        Happy cleaning

          I bought a can of compressed air for the purpose of doing this. It comes with a long narrow nozzle for getting into the hard to reach areas. I also us it to clean the dust and build up that occurs on the inside edges of the front flip panel. Works very well.

            DUST?
            by Rock Dog
            Wondering how members handle dust? DUST is a very important part of the care and maintainence of ALL your electronic equipment. It can cause real problems, especially with power supplys and amplifiers.

            1) Amps and power section with a nice layer of dust run hotter.
            2) If your...

            Dust Containment
            by Bear
            I came across this thread over at CNCZone talking about cyclonic dust management systems for woodworkers. Since one of the things I HATE about MDF is the dust for a variety of good reasons, I am very interested in getting any feedback from people about how they contain dust and whether you use a standard...

            My turntable is a dust magnet!
            by Kevin P
            While spinning some vinyl, I became painfully aware of how much dust had collected on my Denon DP-300F turntable... not just on the dust cover either... the plinth was coated in dust as well, even though it spends nearly all its time with the cover closed. I've kept the platter and the cork mat clean,...

            Replacement "dust caps"?
            by Kyle
            So, many of you may remember how my kitten destroyed the aluminum tweeter on my LCR60S3. I was told by someone here on the forum that I had nothing to fear, and could replace the "dust cap" on the tweeter for a nominal fee.

            Well, the cat knocked the grille off of one of my DM603S3s...
