Dustcovers.. on or off...


Curious as to who does what..I've always read that a dustcover left on is akin to an antenna for vibrations. I usually remove mine when doing serious listening, just wondering what everyone else thinks about the subject...

Off.Not only does the dustcover create a collector for airbourne vibrations, it also adds energy storing mass to a sensitive system,creates a resonant chamber with its own panel resonance characteristics which obscures and smears information.The dustcover is one of the few areas where I am in disagreement with Regas Roy Gandy, the other being his dismal of the value of record cleaning.

Whenever a black biscuit is spinning the dust cover is conveniently lying on the floor. Thanks, Doug
