jochert Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Why should'nt you use paper sleeves? I read something about it on the internet a while ago, but I can't remember. Something to do with the acidity of paper or something? Is it really that bad? Should you go through the hassle of replacing all paper with plastic(lined) sleeves?

hickey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have some from the mobile fidelity soundlab, but they seem to trap dust on the records and create more static. I'm fine with just paper sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic84 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 it's got something to do both with some acid in the paper (i don't remember which acid, tho), and with the ruggedness of the paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slymer Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I just use regular paper ones. I order them from needledoctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 theres the acidity issue with paper and the friction that is created when the record is removed from the paper sleeve. this friction creates static electricity which attracts dust and particles to the vinyl. the plastic sleeves negate this by allowing the record to slide out without friction, thus not allowing dust and particles to scratch the surface. this can help to extend the life and the sound quality of the record.

sherlock Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 so basically what you're all saying is to take your records out of the paper sleeve or lyric insert and put them in a replacement plastic sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 thats something that i have done with my collection and personally, i would recommend it to anyone with record collections they love. the plastic sleeves fit inside the paper ones that normally come with LPs and also fit inside the lyric insert-type sleeves. nagaoka no.102 are usually regarded as the highest quality sleeves you can get. they have rounded bottoms that fit 12" records perfectly.

mystic84 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 so basically what you're all saying is to take your records out of the paper sleeve or lyric insert and put them in a replacement plastic sleeve? yes, palstic sleeves or polylined ones, that are sleeves made of paper on the outside and thin plastic on the inside. i prefer the polylined ones to the plastic ones. but i can't believe you didn't know about all this stuff...

Guest scriptedrain Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I keep my records in the paper sleeve they came in, which is in the artwork, which is in an outer sleeve. I didn't realize that the paper sleeves they come in are bad. Do any labels use the good / "Nagaoka" ones right off the bat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
