Reply to Dj Gear & Road cases

hi,

I just recently purchased a Pioneer CDJ setup complete with a roadcase. I've been putting the lid back on the roadcase after using it, but one thing I've noticed though is that the foam on the lid seems to put a lot of pressure on the knobs on the mixer and the platters.

Is it bad for my CDJs/Mixer to constantly have the lid on when not in use? I only use it on weekends, so it spends most of its time with that pressure pushing down on everything. Should I leave the lid off and just cover it with something to stop the dust? Any advice would help

cheers,
Karl
