... Pierre Sprey (Mapleshade) visiting me one evening to hear some then-new SET amps in my system, who spotted my Empire and asked if I took the motor cover off when playing it. I use this TT to play mostly 78s and mono 33s. He quickly demonstrated the difference -- cover on, off, on, off. It was clear that the cover (he called it a resonance sink) added a layer of grunge that I hadn't really noticed before. His demo made it very obvious. It's not a night-and-day thing, but quite evident, to me at least and my ears are really ancient, once you focus on it. I guess I should append the usual YMMV, IMHO, etc :-)
