dust protection for turntables

I have two very high end turntables, a TW Acustic Raven AC and Transrotor Fat Bob Reference.  I use a fabric similar to silk but not nearly that expensive that I purchased at a fabric store, think it was Joanne Fabrics. Very inexpensive and works great.  I cut it to size so it cover the entire turntable but you need to apply a type of glue around the edges to prevent it from fraying.  I don’t know what it’s called but the fabric store sells it.  And yes you need to take care putting it on and taking it off but with reasonable care you should not have a problem.  
As a side note I also use the same coverings for my tube amps.

Definitely wanna remember to uncover your tube amplifiers when they’re in use.

Thanks. I am a woodworker and HAD to have it. Beauty may be a poor reason to buy a TT. But it sounds very good also.

I had considered making a TT myself but I was really busy and I understood that there is more to it than just building the wooden parts.

@artemus_5 how is wood movement managed? That is a beautiful table though

The problem with acrylic dust covers is that they easily become statically charged and then attract dust.  You might say this is good as they pull dust up from the turntable but generally they just bring more dust into the area.

Light cloth coverings can have nasty interactions with stylii...

I have never had a big problem with dust.  I have not used a cover since I sold my Linn in the mid 80s.

I hold a carbonfibre brush against the  revolving platter before I begin and against each LP side before playing.  I don't see a lot of dust and hear very little noise.  I rarely have to clean a record.
