As far as sound with the dust cover on,in my experience, it definitely changes the sound towards warmer side. If you had edge before, it would likely go away. If you had warm sound, it would change to warmer. It is almost like you changed your phono cable Which one is right? The one you like! I like it with cover on.

As I am still experimenting. I just got cover (custom shape) made and delivered on Christmas Eve. BTW my cover rests on TT plinth/stand. May be the cover acts as acoustic receiver and adds/impacts to the TT's vibration control (system).
