Although inexpensive, the VPI Scout "dust cover," if that is what you want to call it, is useless IMO. I suppose it may cover the platter and protect the tonearm/cartridge, but shouldn't it keep dust out too? The first time I saw it, I was scratching my head, asking who designed this, and why would anyone actually buy one? Probably only someone not wanting to spend $300.00 for the Ginko. I will be purchasing a Ginko for my Scout, but I wouldn't pay $5.00 for that brain fart of a design that VPI came up with.
VPI Dust Cover
Does anyone have any experience with the VPI "Budget" dust cover? I have a Scoutmaster with a Gingko plinth-top dust cover. My table sits on a wall mount (Target) about chest high, and I'm always worried when I put the cover back on that I'm going to hit the tonearm or cabling in back. The VPI cover looks a lot lighter and easier to slide on and off, but the section that goes over the tonearm also appears to be open in front and back, which makes me wonder just how much dust it can really keep off the tonearm and cartridge. Has anyone used one?
