My understanding about dust covers and static and whatnot is that the
static charge that accumulates on a record comes from two sources -
contact with the stylus and contact of the highly modulated and sharp-edged
groove with the air.  If this is the case, then one would ALWAYS want to keep
the dust cover down while playing, since the record acts almost like
a magnet for dust.  Am I off the wall?
