My main table in the 80's was a DP-11F with Dynavector DV-10X3. It was a nice entry level table in its day.
Man you guys have so much fun playing your LPs and leaving your TT with their cover off. Mine is so dusty even after a week and had to keep the cover on at all times. It makes the TT look like a huge chunk of useless box instead of a pretty TT.

Simple, you hide the cover when you're ready to take pictures.Seriously though, I guess some people just don't have a dust problem. I'm unfortunately not in that situation. I've had friends tell me that I should dust off my stuff with 'a years worth of dust on it' when I had only a few days earlier.
Generally though the dust cover is said to add resonance to the table so higher end tables either have fully removable covers or none at all.
Yeah the cover tend to be microphonic because it is not as rigid as the rest of the TT. However, I've yet to detect any difference with the cover on, off, opened, or closed. I think my setup isn't really high end and that revealing.
Also I got this nasty booming bass in a certain frequency. I think it's because of standing waves. I'm using my bookshelves as computer speakers so they become nearfields.
If you listen to Adele's Skyfall, at the 1:00 minute mark there will be a bass line, and my speakers reproduced them in a very echoing and boomy manner (I don't know the term to explain it).
There's the turntable with the cover on in the left corner of the picture.
Do I need to invest in bass traps or acoustic panels or whatever? I've tried different placements but no dice. Some improvements but nothing massive. But I do notice it subsides a little when I lower my head to woofer level. I've since fashioned myself a stand with styrofoam layers wrapped in paper.
It's not much, but it's mine.
So how can I rectify this? Please advise.
Well, let's put it that way - why on earth you think great TTs come with great isolation support(s) ?
Why they use nomicrophonedustcover, at least while playing a record ? I know you are on the toughest of budgets - but you can read just what better/best tables use to combat these issues. Some are relatively easy to DIY or at least approch good original solutions.

Sorry for thr crappy cellphone pics, but i had to show this to you guys.
After some weeks of research, i decided to pull the trigger on the RP1. Later i'll take some pictures with my camera. I'm so excited right now.
Why's your copy of Alligator yellow? :c
Let us know how you like it! I'd love an RP1 but the Pro-Ject's under cut Rega's pricing by a bit.
