Throw it out
NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING
Howdy fellow turntables freaks,my dilemma is this,a little more than a year ago I purchased a Technics 1200G turntable. I have only cleaned it using a feather duster and never touching the plastic at all when opening or closing it.How do I clean it without putting micro swirl marks into the plastic,I'd love to hear about your cleaning methods-trying to maintain my perfect lid! Thanks

@stringreen , and I suppose you wear your underwear for a week. Proper dust covers certainly keep dust off delicate mechanical devices and mounted correcting to an isolated turntable closed dust covers actually IMPROVE the performance of a system by attenuating the sound that gets to the cartridge by up to 10 dB. That is cutting the volume in half. Can dust covers decrease sound quality? Sure, if mounted directly to the same chassis the tonearm and platter are on it can make like a musical instrument. In order to work well the dust cover has to have thick walls at least 1/8 inch and it has to be hinged to something that is not the chassis that the tonearm and platter are mounted to. Examples of turntables that have properly isolated dust covers are; the AR XA, some Thorens tables, Sotas, and the Kuzma Stabi M. You can have a dust cover made for any turntable then hinge it to a base the turntable sits on and you are in business. |
@mijostyn if you look at his VS he has a dust cover on his TT. |
@juanmanuelfangioii , then why the comment "throw it out"? |
@mijostyn no idea is a bit strange. |
