Dust cover up or down?

off

Clearthinker, I think you ought to add a denominator to your survey. “How many have measured VTF with the dust cover up vs down, and did you detect a difference?”

so far, 2 maybe 3 contributors here have both done the comparison and did detect evidence of an effect.

I've just re-read the thread and as I thought, no-one said they had measured a difference in VTF.  Two said there might be a difference.

So far then the score is nil posters have measured any difference.  We've all got those digital scales, so why not get down to it - a minute or two's effort.  I would certainly try, but I don't have a dust cover.

The subject is interesting because this is one pretty stupid tweak where a scientific measurement can easily be made, and proven by weighing with cover off and then doing it again to test the scale is true.  I'm putting my money on 'no difference'.

Art Dudley was one of the nice guys and a great writer, but an arch-tweaker and inclined to believe the voodoo.
