You make me feel ashamed of myself for not mentioning Diskeeper sleeves here myself. I have been using them for years. You are right they are the best I am aware of, Sleeve City service is first rate too. You did good to post this recommendation.
sleeve city diskeeper inner sleeves
Has anyone tried these? I bought my first set and am so impressed at the build and quality. They have a heft and don't feel nearly as flimsy as the MOFI or Quality Records sleeves. They have a clear area where the label is on both sides as well. I have used the MOFI sleeves for years and they always seem to crease and fold on themselves, but I always thought they were the best available. Sometimes they even arrive in the packaging creased with ridges. I contacted Music Direct about this and was informed that the creases wouldn't damage the vinyl. Nonetheless, it didn't seem optimal. They also slide into the jackets much easier, although now I place the records outside of the jacket inside an outer sleeve. They are a whopping 12 cents more per sleeve than MOFI. I'm sold.

@billstevenson No need to feel bad-life's too short. Glad to hear that you're still satisfied after years of use.
@johnto the ultimate audiophile inner sleeve-haven't used any of the others |
FWIW, I found the Ultimate Audiophile sleeve, although excellent, was too bulky to fit into some jackets. This was particularly a problem for older jazz records that I collect, but can even be a problem for new records from some labels. The 2.0 Diskeeper sleeves seem to be more practical and they are much sturdier than the MoFi ones. |
