Anybody own a component that sounds better with the cover off?

I'm not a big tweaker at all but recently I've been figuring out a problem I've have with my Lamm LP2 and now that it's fixed I've been listening with the cover off and then on and then off again and it just sounds better with it off. Things just seem tighter sounding. More precise. 

I've gone back and forth so I don't think I'm imagining it. It's not like I'm putting crystal on top of the speakers or anything :)

Hello,
I just took the dust cover off my Linn Axis. It sounds better with it off. I think everything matters. You just have to decide how much. Is the juice worth the squeeze? On my system the answer is usually yes. I do agree with the storing of products. Things can get damaged. Also the costs to improve the sound. The costs of isolation products can really add up.  I have petrified wood bookends on some of my phono preamp, BlueSound Node 2i, and the to of my amp. They can handle the heat, definitely improved the sound, and they look good.
