I would imagine the dust cover is removable for two reasons. First, I see screws holding it to the hinges. So, just undo the screws and it will some off. Second, I can't think of a single turntable with a dust cover that wasn't removable.
Still, just a guess.
The more I look at it the more I like it.

True but I'm thinking of whether it could be easily removed during a listening session and then put back without having to reattach the lid to the screws. Looks like that would work. If it really is $3050 including the arm and power supply, I'm interested. I like the straight lines and the clean, simple design.
Looks like all you'd have to do is detach it from the hinges and rest it on the table.
If that table comes in at $3K and sounds good, I think they will have a real winner on their hands.

I asked James Tanner about pricing and the dust cover in that Audio Circle thread. Got the response below:
"Hi Gary
For now same price in Canada and the USA. You should not really listen with the dustcover down as it may create a turbulence but we have taken that into account as we have designed a vented, non-resonant plinth. The plinth is designed to reduce any turbulence that may build up as a result of having the dustcover attached as well as the turbulence underneath the rotating platter."
I don't know.
If the tone arm can't track properly because the dust cover is down,then I can assure you that it won't track properly when the dust cover is up. A platter spinning with an LP is not a fan and will not produce enough turbulance with enough force to even cause a mosquito to veer of course and a mosquito has much less mass then a tonearm tracking a groove. This is a scam.
"....same price in Canada and the USA".
Does he mean their price is $4000 US dollars for US customers AND $4000 Canadian dollars for Canadian customers? That doesn't sound right, although if that turns out to be Bryston's policy my US dollars will go straight to VPI!
I was very interested in this new Bryston 'table until I read what James Tanner said about pricing. Now not so much.
I wasn't clear either so I responded to him that I'd hoped the price would be around $3000US. His response was: "No sorry the arm alone sells for $2000 and the Bryston power supply would be $1000 on its own"
That means $4000 wherever you buy it. For me, I was very interested at $3050. At $4000, I don't think so. Although it does include that power supply....
Nah. I think it'll be another VPI for me. Maybe the Classic Signature.
