Dust as room treatment, legit excuse?

[JohnyT]

My wife's been nagging me to do some dusting in the lounge. All the hifi/AV is in there and she won't touch it

I reckon the dust is helping those flat surfaces against sound reflections, she doesn't seem to understand. Who's with me on this?

Dust on Hi Fi is a crime of the highest order . Go get the duster and the pledge you heathen !

A few houses ago, my mum came to see me. She put her finger on a shelf, wiped it along, and showed me the dust she'd collected. I said "Mum, it was never a problem till you showed up"

Not to mention excessive dust is bad for hifi,when it gets inside your kit,and it will

Dust on your HiFi equipment, NO,NO,NO.

If dust improved the sound, RA would have bottled it and flogged it............

My mum used to have 2 small cross-stitch things on the wall.

One said: "Dust is a protective covering for furniture"

The other said: "An immaculate house is a sign of a wasted life"

Steering to a slightly more practical note, I find these are much better than cloths for dusting kit

Being slightly intolerant of house dust, I'm not left with any choice but to keep dust off my stereo.

I do, however, only use a dry duster or a damp cloth because any kind of polish is likely to smear the shiny black surfaces on my speakers and turntable. I also occasionally use the tips of the bristles of a small unused paintbrush to gently clean the drivers and surrounds of my speakers.

The best fix for dust, however, is to wipe all humanity off the planet as it's those pesky humans that create all that dust.
