I was just wonder, for all of us audio guys who have a turntable with a plastic lid attached, does it make sense to totally remove it. All the super hi end tables do not have a plastic lid. Also if the cartridge is that sensitive to the room, the table, the motor, the speakers; being to close. Is it that sensitive to having the lid closed and picking up on the echo/ chamber created by having the lid closed.
Off in use, on when not. What I have done, is remove the hinges from the lid/table and place four (one on each corner) rubber 1'square 1/4 inch high 'feet'you can get at any hardware store in the section for furniture pads, feet, etc. I put them so that the lid is placed down just out side of them and prevents horizontal movement when not in use. FWIW.
Yes, remove the lid when playing. We should know. We make all kinds of acrylic covers for TTs but when we did vibration tests, we found that resonance from the cover affects vibration on the plinth, tonearm, etc., especially when loud music is playing. Vinh Vu Gingko Audio
