As much as i always take lid off if possible, the makers like Thorens as an example made decent decks with hinged lids, obviously for it to be kept on so i would imagine its not likely to make a lot of difference. I prefer lift off lids personally

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Dang cover cost nearly as much as my last 'table! It has to come off, but I have a damned problem finding a place to put it while I'm playing records? I don't want to scratch it, always a problem.

I hear ya! The only reasonable solution is to build a cover for your cover.Originally Posted by alphaGT

Lol! Now why didn't I think of that? Maybe I'll buy a wall shelf to set it on?

Think we have the same problem. Yours seems taller, but mine is a fair bit bigger all round (to comfortably cover a N.A. Dais). It's 5mm thick, and rests upon an armchair when t/t is active. When I had decks with hinged lids (LP12 & Rok. Xerxes) I had to take them off because wall shelves don't allow sufficient front to back space to open it properly.

That's a good deal, £72 (incl.?). My behemoth cost £75 from a local acrylics manufacturer as I made my own design but that was a few years ago. Part of the design brief was that it could support the weight of a cat.

I guess I got taken, I paid a guy on Audiogon to make mine for some $230! I was a bit puzzled as to why it was so tall when I got it, but, it does allow me to add extra feet, or a Cloud 9 isolation platform in the future and still have some headroom.
My previous ‘tables had hinged lids, a Denon and a Project, but they weren’t tall enough to cover my record clamp so they had to stand open, and then I feared they were picking up airborne vibrations, so I took them off when playing. However they were small enough to lean against the stereo stand, this one needs a better place to rest. But, I must say it really does the job when in place. I could have bought the one that fits on the plinth, but I felt like this one looked more impressive. Maybe it does? But I do like that it keeps dust off of my accessories that I keep under the table. I don’t know if you can see them in the photo, but I keep my carbon brush, my digital scale, and my Zerodust, and a few wrenches under the ‘table for safe keeping.

Didn’t really want to start a new thread for this but I recently bought a new cover from a guy on eBay. He made it bespoke for me to my measurements for £72 posted. It’s brilliant quality, was really quick and packaged better than any piece of hi-fi equipment I have ever bought. I think it looks pretty nice too...
