living by the sea

Misternice,
Take your stereo system with you! Use it and enjoy at as much as you can. You might even want to share your love for music with some new friends at your new home. Don't worry about damaging it, which I doubt you will, and enjoy it to the fullest!

Sea air is corrosive. Just do what you can to provide a good climate indoors and things will work out as best as possible. Maybe start with gear that is not too costly to replace if needed and see how it goes. Live and learn.

Misternice-

do you live by fresh water or salt water bodies? All sea air is corrosive. Salt air is the worst. Also, use of air-conditioning will play a part as well. Start w/ lower-priced gear and evaluate prior to moving your more pricey gear to your home by the sea. Happy Listening!

I have been living by the sea for 8 years. Corrosion has been a minor problem. Keeping connections clean and air con regulated is a must.

I live about 4 to 5 blocks from the beach. And I'd say that, as far as I know, this has had no impact on my electronics. At best, once in a BLUE MOON, I use De-oxit to clean my jacks, but whatever is on there I can't say whether it is from the beach or just normal wear and tear.

OTOH. I do know that wood blinds are not recommended for my area because I'm told (when I was buying new blinds), that the salt area hardens and then causes the wood to break. And, I have to have the sensors replaced periodically for my garage door and am told that it is because of the salt air -- but, I also have to say that I don't know whether that one is B.S. or not.
