Mijo, where is your turntable situated with respect to your speakers? In my opinion the best way to cure acoustic feedback, which is what you seem to be talking about, is by careful placement of the turntable in your listening room. And other obvious measures. Not by using a thick or thicker dust cover. If you need a dust cover to prevent acoustic feedback, then you need to think again about your room and the equipment in it. By the way, I had to laugh when I saw your comment above that it is we (the no dust cover crowd) who are obsessed with static electric charge. From everything of yours that I have read, it is you who are so obsessed, not the “no cover” aficionados. But in the end, I think we can all agree that everyone should do as he or she pleases. This is not a religion. About your practice in relation to cleaning LPs or your stylus, have you looked at your stylus under a microscope lately? I am wondering what it might look like. I am sure you’ll say it’s immaculate.
