Seems to me that a dust cover is a large resonating empty box that attracts vibration and delivers it to the table. My Linn cover, when open, just slides out of the hinge slots very easily and the hinges stay put on the lid...I simply stick the lid on a little shelf nearby and back on it goes after a listening session. My old Linn Basik/Akito is utterly immune to audible vibration due to the 3 large cylndrical rubber feet that are loosely attached (or wiggly, per design), and somehow it just keeps on truckin’...great table that hangs on even while I’m often tempted to replace it for no particular reason (the desire for a new and shiny object?).
