dustcover up, down or off

To get the best sound from a TT, should the dustcover be up, down or removed all together? I have always removed my dustcover, but I recently read an opinion that having it in place prevents unwanted vibrations from the speakers from reaching the TT. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

I agree with what the others have said so far, with one caveat: If there is even a remote possibility that the dust cover could fall down while playing a record, I would either play with it down or removed entirely, as the effect of the dustcover slamming down could easily cause damage to your record and/or the stylus.

My two cents worth.
