Turntable cover


If TT has attached cover which swings up, what position should it be in when playing? How does it affect the sound in either position? Or should I remove the cover altogether? If I do, how do I keep the TT free of dust?
TIA for your replies.

I too recommend it off.....use a Swiffer to keep it clean, but be very careful near the cartridge.
