dust protection for turntables


Most higher-end turntables do not have built-in hinged covers. So what do people use to keep dust off their TTs when they’re not being played? Those large molded plastic covers that fit over and around the whole plinth? A silk scarf from Hermes? What's the most ingenious solution you're used or come across?

I have two very high end turntables, a TW Acustic Raven AC and Transrotor Fat Bob Reference.  I use a fabric similar to silk but not nearly that expensive that I purchased at a fabric store, think it was Joanne Fabrics. Very inexpensive and works great.  I cut it to size so it cover the entire turntable but you need to apply a type of glue around the edges to prevent it from fraying.  I don’t know what it’s called but the fabric store sells it.  And yes you need to take care putting it on and taking it off but with reasonable care you should not have a problem.  
As a side note I also use the same coverings for my tube amps.
