Reddit mentions of Diskeeper 1.5 Round Bottom LP Record Sleeves (50 Pack)

Yeah, they look cool and all, but I'd always prefer a regular vinyl.

The plastic they're packaged in also can further damage the record. I always put these on any records that go in those clear PVC packaging.

Muddiness is a big complaint. Sometimes master tape transfers to vinyl can enhance the good and bad. So perhaps it's even more so for the red vinyl edition. But do your own research, see if you find contrary testimonials. I've normally relied on Amazon, Discogs, and Steve Hoffman forums for my questions.

As far as the sleeves, I use these:

Disc Keepers with rounded bottoms. I like them. A lot of people like to go with the MoFi sleeves. I like the keepers for the rounded bottoms. Makes it easier to 'drop' into outer sleeve.

I use these:

I use them alongside any sleeves that my old albums come with. These are better because I can easily slide the album in and out while keeping these sleeves inside the cover.

Hey all,

Just ordered my first turntable (a Pro-Ject DC Esprit) and I'm extremely excited to receive it and play my first ever record! I'm ordering a few classics on Amazon to get started and I notice that some of them are remastered versions (e.g. Pearl Jam's "Ten"). How do these remasters hold up compared to the originals? Am I better off tracking down the originals of these classics or would I be okay ordering the remastered record? Also, is Amazon typically a solid place to order records, or am I better off getting better quality from another website? Unfortunately I live in a small town in Virginia with no dedicate audio store so anything in-person will be extremely hit or miss.

Part two: Should I be concerned about ordering inner sleeves for my records? Something like these or these? I know I need to go ahead and order a brush to clean the records every time before I play them, but I saw these sleeves as well and don't know if they're really even necessary or overrated, or if they're absolutely necessary. Thanks for any pointers for a newbie!

Anybody use these round bottom LP sleeves from Diskeeper?

I recommend these inner sleeves:

These for outer sleeves:

These inner sleeves are also good if you're dealing with older records with very tight jackets or modern records with thick cardstock inner sleeves. With a cardstock inner sleeve, I use them as liner sleeves.

I also think the Spin Clean is essential if you are going to buy used records.

RE: the amp, I have no experience with it, but if you are unsure about the amp and want to take it out of the equation entirely, look into powered/active speakers. You don't need an amp with those.
