tehguitarist Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Make sure you clean them before you do. No more bits of paper left on records!!! gabpower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmac8706 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 80 for how many ?!?! I pay 35 for 50 and that's in Australia. packs of 50 are 20 bucks from a few sites I've found that have them in stock. but 80 bucks for 200.

tehguitarist Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 My opinion is it helps the vinyl last longer and static free. I'd say use them on records you play, but on just collectors stuff, depends how long you want the paper sleeves to last? It's 40c a lp so there's something.

Dillhole Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Love them. Haven't bought them in a while, forgot what I paid but I picked up 1000 on a super sale over at Sleeve City. Still got a couple hundred waiting in reserve. I have other poly sleeves and switched to the MoFi's when the became cheaper than what I was using previously, and I like them more. Easy to see what were my first 200 or so albums as they still have the older poly sleeves. I had terrible quality control with those which was also part of the reason I switched. MoFi's on the other hand have been perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think it's over kill for the price. I prefer the poly lined paper sleeves. I think they are just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yancey47 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmac8706 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 thanks for the input. I'm not worried about spending the money since my collection is worth a few grand and growing, but seeing what most peoples input is on it and if its worth putting them in the mofi. i think ill go with them. I'm in the middle of moving and my apartment won't be ready for a month so i have to put them in a storage unit. i got a climate controlled unit so I'm sure they will be safe in there for the mean time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I buy the cheaper Mofi knock off sleeves from Bags Unlimited. They work fine and are gentle on the vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3TA-BIRD Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I prefer the Nagaoka no 102 over Mobile Fidelity. I always use them on new or rare vinyl after cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 i use mofi sleeves for some of my more valuable records, but i use these for everything else and they're great cause they always easily fit into the jacket: http://www.sleevecityusa.com/diskeeper-1-5-round-bottom-lp-sleeves-pack-of-50-p/312ncir.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gippej Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Anyone use these? http://www.sleevecityusa.com/diskeeper-ultimate-audiophile-inner-sleeve-p/312nlps.htm I use the non ultimate version of those and I think they are awesome. I also use sleeve city's outer sleeves and find them great as well, good products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I HIGHLY recommend these: http://store.soundsourcecds.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_70 He has 10" ones too which is great. These are made to slip right in to a normal paper sleeve. The retail prices are really fair overall. I get them at wholesale so if you own/work at a record store or have a business license, you can set up a wholesale account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I was mostly wondering about durability I suppose. The regular ones seem flimsy based off photos. I'd prefer a more stiff inner sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
