    Spin clean cloths get soaked way too easy as it only does our 25 LPs

    I think it's pretty inexpensive to buy additional cloths if you're cleaning that many records at a time.

    What I did was buy an extra set and kept rotating them when drying. Any cloth you use is only going to go so long. I had four, and would dry one album and put that towel at the "end of the line", and then use the next, giving each time to dry a little before being used again. That being said, even rotating four towels will eventually get to a point where they've absorbed too much and need to be washed.

    Microfiber towels are cheap and work pretty well too, if you’re looking to bulk up stock.

    do you need mono cartridges for mono records (specifically thinking because job soon makes me think "should i buy analogue productions mono pet sounds" despite owning pet sounds already on single LP)

    tbh i dont even know if my capital reissue is that bad.. its mostly just the feeling of getting the best of the best

    My mono is a capital repress and it’s quite good tbh, I don’t really have much interest in getting an audiophile one right now!

    maybe i mostly want the AP pressing because i wanted a taste of that sweet sweet audiophile perfection... and no other audiophile label things beyond some mofi and speakers corner (maybe ornette coleman ORG but i dunno) really clicked with me
    duke86fan
    The one thing I'm not liking about the mofi sieves is the texture, they feel too thin (unlike the clear bag of my vmp pinkerton) and they easily get bunched up.. but I hear they are best for preservation

    Inner btw

    I like the thickness of paper and plastic.. like that touching it feels like there is a bit of friction.. that it feels thick and protective

    Go for @AnthonyI's suggestion or just the Diskeeper Audiophiles. I use the latter and MoFis and the Diskeeper Audiophiles are similar quality to the MoFis with considerably thicker paper in them. Ultimate audiophile is even more heavy duty with paper on the outside on both sides but I don't feel the need for the extra cost.

    Just don’t spend all that time spin cleaning and then stick em back in a paper only sleeve. I prefer the poly sleeves especially with colored wax as I feel like it presents better. Plus thicker isn’t necessarily better it all adds up. The more records you have the thicker the packaging means less shelf space.

    It’s a great album! I already have everything on the VMP version or I’d happily pick it up.

    I was out. Then this...agh I think I'm back in one month more. I love this album so much. I do already own it, but their version has the b-sides and live versions, and that has me hooked in.

    i either got a bad spin clean, am doing something wrong thats leaving the rollers rubber locking up the record... or i just dont like it

    It's still weird that Justin Bieber goes on a little tangent about not being political on his bad guy remix

    We couldnt find an outer sleeve that was good enough for our customers so we decided to create OUR own. A clearly better outer record sleeve that doesn't get cloudy. Our LP outer sleeve has the strength and durability of Mylar,

    I've never felt the need for anything nicer than the ultimate 2.5 (except when the gatefolds are too thick to fit in). What do you like better about the mofis?

    NOTE: the spiderverse OST is a picture disc (she bought it for me from target.. she said she wanted to get one with the full cover but i told her it was fine... though picture discs aren't great sounding its still awesome to have the soundtrack to one of my favorite movies)

    I just realized we are going to have a big chunk shortage with rainbo gone.. Gz can't replace everything

    But the average quality level should increase!

    iirc other companies have bought up Rainbo's equipment, so it will eventually be put back into service.

    the thing is the more one plant has to do a ton of stuff the lower quality the plant will become...


    do you think Gz would have as bad quality control problems JUST because naturally bad... its because they have to press thousands of records

    I didn't mean to imply you did, I just meant that I'd be ruined if I did!

    Yeah, I went back to Bitches Brew not long after experiencing Trout Mask Replica and had a much easier time following it. Am I being thick for not recognizing Machine Gun?

    Have you tried Decals? An easier listen than Trout Mask but just as good.
