I myself don't like (turntable) dust covers at all, but is there any reason for me to start using them?

I mean, do you put dust covers on your TTs when you're not spinning?

Assuming, of course, that you DO occasionally leave your decks...

you should keep everything as dust free as you can. Specially your x-fader.

I always use the dust covers when im not spinning. I also put a terry cloth over my DJM600. I spent too much to have dust mess them up.

Ah, the dust covers look terrible, not to mention clumbsy when you want to use your tables. I simply place a towel over my CDJ, Mixer, and Tables whenver I'm not using them. Easy as that.

I use a dust cover on my TTs as well as a piece of cloth to cover my mixer and headphones up. Can't take any chances; these babies cost a bomb!

Plus the dust collects on your slip matts, so when you put on your record and it gets a little static, it pickes up all the crap and it all goes on one record.

I don't have the dust covers for my Technics :-( I bought them second hand, and they came in flight cases without the dust covers, and there's not enough room on my desk to have them in the flight cases. I just end up brushing off dust with my hand whenever I use them.

everytime i spin, i take off the lids on my road ready cases and set up my tables from there, sounds cumbersome but i dont want a single knick on my decks
