Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile 50x Premium Vinyl Record Inner Sleeves - Anti-Static Rice Paper - Master Vinyl Record Sleeves - Acid Free Protective Cover for 12" Records

If you value your record collection, either new or vintage, you will want to replace the paper sleeves with these. Excellent design and functionality.

An essential product for anyone record collectors. Forget fancy cleaning rigs and anti-static guns, proper inner sleeves are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to keep your records clean. One of the biggest mistakes many collectors make is not buying proper inner sleeves for their records. Generic paper sleeves and even nice printed sleeves can scratch the surface of your discs, create static, and cause them to hold on to unwanted dust and other particles. If you like to play your records a lot, you can also quickly wear out nice printed inner sleeves by handling them too frequently.These inner sleeves are relatively firm, making it relatively easy to place records inside of them, but are still rather slim, allowing them to be easily placed inside record sleeves. They're also anti-static and won't cause unnecessary wear on your records. I did a deep clean of my collection this year and placed all of the discs in these sleeves after cleaning. I threw away generic inners and placed nice printed inners next to the disc inside the record sleeves so they don't wear down. These sleeves are generally thin enough that doing this isn't a problem. Now when I buy new records, I immediately replace any generic inners with these. Great product.

I have tried Mofi, rice paper round bottom onion skins, and other sleeves from various companies. I have been at this hobby since the early 70s and scene it all come and go. My record collection is about 2500 LPs from classic rock, jazz, blues, classical and everything in between. It is currently valued at over $50,000 conservatively. I have now put DK Ultimate Audiophile Inner Record Sleeves on each one of my records. These aren't cheap but they are well worth it. No more messing around with crumpled edges and ill-fitting sleeves. DK Ultimate Audiophile Inner Record Sleeves never and I mean never bunch up inside a record cover as long as you pay attention to what you are doing with you put your album back in the cover. Remember gang, if you have to force it, it isn't aligned properly so pull it back out and try again. Combine these with the Ultimate Outer Sleeves and you have a wonderfully cared for archival copy of your favorite music. My stereo is high-end and expensive, but it is a distant second in comparison to the love, labor, and value of my collection. These sleeves are hands down the best you can buy!

I have no problem with MoFi inner sleeves, but they simply aren’t as nice as these. Literally no downside with these ultimates. Pair them with the amazingly clear and sturdy ultimate 5.0 outer sleeves and your collection will have the best combination of form and function. If the price puts you off, I get that, but with the cost of albums these days they really aren’t all that expensive and will help hold the value of collectible albums and keep the playability high for those you play often.

Like it, maybe I'll grow to love it. The product picture is a bit misleading as the ones I got didn't center the label in the two windows as perfectly as the photo suggests. I still love the typical "rice paper" sleeves, but if I let other people handle my records these would make me feel more comfortable. These do tend to slide into the record jacket easier than some rice paper sleeves, but there's just something tactile about taking the record out of the rice paper sleeves that I prefer over these.

Always takes over two weeks to arrive

I keep a stack of these next to the record player in case I run across an album from my collection that has an original liner still or no liner at all. I can't imagine a better liner; I use them for every record I have be it a hot stamper of a rare album in NM condition, or a VG Whipped Cream. Every record gets one, even records just passing through, borrowed, or visiting. I've replaced roughly 150 by now covering every type, stye, and age of outer cover, and I can tell you only one time have I encountered an outer that wouldn't easily accept these inners smoothly and perfectly flat. And, I am attributing that anomaly to what appears to be a cheap outer that was not folded/glued true. Besides fitting so well, if a record has liners, printed inner, etc., they cause no issue either. I sleep better at night using these inners instead of anything else, even my audiophile targeted records that ship with nice, premium inners—those get replaced with these too.

I have now tried I believe pretty close to all of the vinyl inner sleeves that are available, I will say hands down these are at the top of the heap as of 8/12/2017, Now the others work just fine, but if your valuable vinyl collection comes down to just good enough or fine then there you go, For me it's the Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile inner sleeves are good enough for my collection.Couple things to mention as to what I like about this sleeve are, I like that it has the rice paper inner sleeve durability and appeal, Not as flimsy as the others, I like the double sided viewing of the label instead of the whole album exposed or not any of the vinyl exposed. The opening of the sleeve just seems to seal better for better protection IMO, I just think at the end of the day your going to get much more life out of these than the others, Like everything... Time will tell
