In Reply to: RE: Dust covers? posted by Merle on July 02, 2009 at 14:21:05
The only covers that are reasonably convenient are those that have a hinge and fit on the back of square wooden plinths. The free standing items are a big pain to use. If one is not careful, disaster lurks from accidentally hitting the counterweight on the arm.
Many such free-standing covers have cutouts for the arm/counterweight, or otherwise do not completely seal off the table, so dust seems to get in anyway.
I have a dust cover for my Basis Debut. It now is "used" primarily to collect old magazines. It is simply too much of a hassle to actually use it if one uses the table all of the time. To me, keeping the platter clean is the most important function of a cover, so I do that with a sacrificial record. Once in a while I very carefully dust the rest of the table with a microfibre cloth.
I don't like the idea of draping a towel over the table because of the chance of snagging the cantilever of the cartridge. I don't really think there is either a cheap or convenient cover for the Avid, much less one that has both attributes.
