  1. me! as long as the price is decent compared to Captured Tracks haha
  2. Thanks man! that definitely helped. I've just finished working on the covers and I think they look alright now. I'll call up Kinkos anyways to see what my options are, if not I'll just get them done through that other printing place. I was thinking this too, but right now I'd like to start small and do it for a few albums only. I can't justify the prices just yet, but I may later on down the road.
  3. I'll try and make this as short as possible Some of my all time favorite albums don't sound so great on vinyl unfortunately. I've decided it would be more sensible to sell them off and use the money to expand my library and opt for better, mostly cheaper alternatives like CDs, SACDs, blu ray audio and all that good stuff. With that said, I would like to retain some of the experience that comes with listening to vinyl. I recently had the idea to get some photo prints done so I can have them on display when listening to the albums. I've recently downloaded some high quality JPGs to use for the prints. They're each around 1200 x 1200, which I figured seemed like a decent size for what I'm looking to get. However upon browsing through articles and forums I read that 1200 x 1200 is pretty much the bare minimum for 12 x 12 prints, and that in most cases the quality will be shoddy at best. I'm currently trying to teach myself a bit of photoshop ( I know absolutely nothing about this kind of stuff) to see if I can improve these images, but I had some questions: I noticed that those discussions about 1200 x 1200 being low quality mostly referred to photographs taken from cameras. However, since this is an album cover that was probably produced differently, does it really make that much of a difference? Will it make any real difference whether I keep it in JPEG format or convert it to something like TIFF? again, I'm not quite sure if the same rules apply to here as they do to photographs (probably a dumb question). and lastly Has anyone else undertaken a similar project before? how'd it turn out? The local Kinkos and Office Depot either won't or don't do copyrighted images in the sizes I need. the best alternative I've managed to find to far is Persnickety Prints. For 1.99 a print, I figured it's worth the risk, but if anyone knows of any other places that a bit more tailored to this sort of thing, that'd be cool. Thanks!
  4. Got Post in today from OLI. two corners and badly bent/crushed and the entire package is warped. The thing looks more like a bowl or plate than a record =/
  5. So I recently ordered a batch of MoFi sleeves and am currently in the process of cleaning my records and replacing the old paper sleeves with these new ones. I had a really really dirty goodwill record that I just accidentally threw into a MoFi sleeve before cleaning it and now there's a good amount of dust and debris in there. So, is there any proper method to clean a plastic inner sleeve? is that even a thing people do? I'm not really torn up about possibly having to throw one away, but now I'm curious if there's a way to clean these sleeves like we do with records, jackets, etc. I was thinking a simple Kleenex wet wipe, but I'm not sure if that'd affect the LP.
  6. I'm an idiot. But in my defense after seeing that most of the replies were just puns I scrolled all the way down to CVHX's post. Can't believe I didn't see that tho
  7. Interested in NWFT. I've got some soundtracks for sale/trade in my thread. Link is in my sig
  8. Replacement split that should've shipped with the slipmat came in today and it was the regular variant. Meh ... I don't really like to complain and I'm glad to have a copy at least (shipping was prompt too) but I would've liked some prior warning beforehand. I thought there might have been some leftover/extra sub variants for mistakes like this. Giving it a spin and now and it's pretty good though
  9. Joke's on you. I ordered this on an old 90's palm pilot that I scavenged while rappelling down the himalayas after rescuing a group of stranded climbers and their injured sherpa. Stay pleb, loser.
