I think it looks better and feels safer with the cover down and it doesn't much affect sound quality (that I can hear). Roksan Xerxes.

Just as well, the old TX11 dustcover used to chew up the plinth too.Several aeons ago when I had vinyl I generally kept the lid shut. This was somewhat fraught as my Thorens TD150B deck had a narrow ledge that the lid pivoted on to open and close it, rather than proper hinges, and there was always the risk that the lid would slide off mid-manoevre with damage to the LP a likely outcome. Especially after the consumption of certain, ahem, substances.

Up or down, no difference to me. One of the audiophile myths this.
Totally absurd.Couldn't find a lid to fit:
If you attached a cutting lathe to that as well, you would have a vinyl version of a Watkins Copicat.Couldn't find a lid to fit:
Down is probably better because it will damp some of the vibration.
Which month, exactly?Lids are so 1970.

I am considering (was considering) getting a lid made for the palmer and contacted some bloke who does this stuff for hiFi. He wanted near 500 squids to make same from acrylic so it's no lid right now,
but would be OFF if I had one.
It's not a myth, quite obviously. Attaching a big resonant mass to a device that is all about capturing tiny vibrations is not a good idea.
Of course people need to use lids for reasons and safeguarding things, protection from dust, etc. But having one on your deck while playing is really not ideal. Down is probably better because it will damp some of the vibration.
