Hey Head-fiers,

I just finished cleaning the dust from my amp/DAC, etc but instead of cleaning it good I just moved it around, and after a few minutes the dust I moved falls again over my equipment, so what can I use to clean it and leave the less dust possible? What do you use?

 

[krmathis]

A soft microfiber cloth, originally designed for cleaning glass surfaces.
Usually dry, but damp it once in a while if there are a stain I need to remove.

 

[Lazarus Short]

HEPA filter = minimal dust.

Make covers for gear, take off when using.

If you're dealing with ddust, however, try a bbrush, a ccloth, or a vvacuum.

Dust adds character and body while enhancing the musicality of the high end.

(As an aside, I read your thread title as "What do you use to clean de_dust from your gear?" and thought about mentioning the auto-shotty. I've known too many counterstrike players.)

Any link showing the type?

mogroob, about the ddust it was more like this:

(Joke, just a typo

Use a cut-down paintbrush, or a few of them. I picked up cheap ones from the art store and used scissors to cut the bristles down to where they're stiff. Those will get into small corners and won't scratch anything. I'm not a fan of compressed air because it blows dust everywhere, sometimes forcing it into corners. Brushes keep dust out of the air and get to all the spots.

I use a very slightly wet cotton clothe,and i never leave the audio gear to have to much dust on it.

I also use those soft microfiber cloths to dust and clean just about everything. I use them to dust my monitor and other electronics. I do notice that when I clean/blow the dust off the heatsink of my CPU, the temperature is lower than when compared to when it has dust on it.

I don't. Clean equipment leaves the high end sounding harsh.

Looks like you need a keyboard vacuum cleaner.

Interesting.... But that also moves all the dust to one place of the equipment's surface, doesn't it? It works similar to a piece of felt.

What I normally use is this type (without the dust that appears on the pict):

Hmm, think it is time for me to release a new product:

The Audiophile cleaning cloth: "It will expand soundstage, give moar punch to the bass, tame sibilance... whilst keeping your equipment clean" Street price: $400 unit 12x12 inch.

Well guess I will have to look for some kind of static cloth that attracts dust.

I use the hand held swiffer duster. Works quite well and is able to go under the equipment.

Quite sure mine is made by Jordan, and it is blue like this one:

Swiffer dust cloth and a paint brush.

Swiffer Duster here too, love it for the whole house, this invention saved me tons of time when I had too much audio gear laying around.
