that reminds me, i need to start doing that.

I did when I first got my tables. Then after I got tired of taking them off every day/few hours, I stopped. Now That I dont have time to use them that often, and have gotten good enough to play gigs(ie, not practice as much) I should. Although I really should practice anyway, I'm still a bit rusty sometimes.

As for records, I treat them like babies.. because they are. One drop/ fuckup and there goes that track you spent months looking for.

I know you don't let that brand new 1500 collect dust!!!

I cover all my stuff. Dust covers for my Tech's and for my mixer and CDJ I just place a piece of cardboard on top of them when not in use.

For my phones, I just drape the leather bag over the top of them. I use to put them in the bag every time but I think that was part of the stress that led them to break.

I guess I'm kind of meticulous (anal) though.



Edit - and I did use to own retarded Numarks and I never covered them.

no dust covers...just towels. work pretty damn well too. as for vinyl...i try and baby them, but sometimes it doesnt work. such as...when im spinning, accidently hit the carts while im trying to cue and have that whole "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK" sound. or while im changing records, the tone arm will accidently drop back on the record. bah!!! i hate when im putting records back in my crate, and the sleeve will get caught on another and rip!!!

Their should be another option "no - i use a crapy 20 yr sansui table with rotary nobs for pitch"

I use a flag. Perfect size for two turntables and a mixer.

Although my brother in law uses the dust covers because of the cats.

I will never own a cat - but his cat is ok.

I use the dust covers on my techs because my room gets really dusty(don't know why), dont cover the mixer or headphones though, maybe i should.

It cost me more than two years to save enough money to buy the techs, mixer & monitors so, sure, I cover everything.

Feckin cats...

I cover up all my gear and towel the mixer then put a sheet of cardboard over it all... i never used to rock the cardboard but i used to come out in the mornings and notice the towel fully pushed down over the mixer because the cat had been sleeping there... cant imagine it being overly comfy for puss with a fader in its arse...

so i use the towel & cardboard system... and also i like to take care of my shit...

no im a lazy bastard
