🔊 Enhance Audio Quality with MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB INNER SLEEVES - MOFI MFSL (50 RECORD SLEEVES) Review

About 20% of them fail the record! Not sure where they get good reviews from as I've seen them tight but tight is unacceptable to me. I buy a new or used record, clean it, change the cover (formerly this one, now Diskeeper 2.0) and store the record. About 1 in 5 is so dense I throw it away. The rest is tight but I thought they would stretch a little. What I've found over time is that they don't stretch and I actually have to pull my blank record out of this sleeve with my fingers. Maybe I was…

I'm getting back into vinyl and building my collection, so I realized that the regular paper sleeves or printed cardboard sleeves that come with many records wouldn't be the best way to protect my expensive vintage and Audiophiles keep records, so I tried three well-known brands that did well.

Basically, I use three types of record inner sleeves: 1) Anti-Static DiscKeeper 2.0 sleeves - you can get them for $9.99 + $3 by mail delivered directly from the town of Rukava or here on Revain. for $14.99 Prime. I use them for most of my mid to mid range vinyl records and they are a good all round case at a reasonable price. They have a 2.0mm case and I don't try to fit them into the sleeve of a record sleeve as they tend to wrinkle. I put the record cover in the outer sleeve, then I put this

Real question: Why would I bother changing the inner sleeves on my vinyl records? The most extreme example of "why?" I've experienced: I recently found a sealed original edition of "The Rite of Spring" by Ozawa on RCA, 1968. I paid a little more for it as it was still sealed, opened it up and found that the original RCA plastic inner sleeve had chemically reacted with the surface of the record, rendering the record, which was otherwise intact and fresh from the factory, permanent was damaged…
