I think a dust cover is insignificant for a turntable. the ones that are hinged actually add vibrations into the table and really should be removed when listening. so I would not base your table decisions on a dust cover as most high end ones don't have them anyway. The project tables along with Rega and some others are good quality tables for starting out. you may also want to consider a used vintage table as your first table.  A good vibration free place to put your table and proper record care products are more important then a dust cover.

+ 1 for glennewdick, One thing I love about my new Pioneer PLX-1000 TT
is it has a handsome smoked dust cover with no hinges , just small indents
that hold it when you put it back on .
Other thing is it sounds as least as good as my  2K  Project .

I owned one for about 4 years....its a decent sounding table. 

However I recently went to a VPI Scout and it is an amazing improvement. People told me to save my money and buy more of a table when I was looking at the RPM....I didnt listen so I will tell you....Save Your Money For A Better Table :-) 

With that said the RPM was in my budget at the time and it served me very well. In the end I wish I was experiencing the music long ago like I am now with the Scout.
