Grubby fingers?

Mike i would hope that the last year would have led to more thorough hand washing.

I feel that the whole point of vinyl is to get my spotlessly clean, we are in a pandemic, hands all over it and to experience and enjoy it. To look at the cover properly and appreciate it, not to store it away like an ancient tome. You’ll be telling me you wear white gloves next...

I can look at and appreciate the cover while it's in a sleeve. especially if you use the 5.0 ultimate outers...i actually think they make the album art pop more with the few I have...the main reason why I store them behind is that I had a bunch of seam splits happen, or dropped records when I was trying to get the records back into the jackets. I also scratched some records/got scuffs from trying to get records back into the jackets that were too tight. I'm a clumsy guy. I am also lazy. I want easy access to the records so I top load the sleeves. I never liked side-loading them either. I don't really get the point of an outer sleeve if you're taking the jacket out to try to get the record out of the jacket. But everybody has their rituals so to each their own! I just think having NO outer sleeves is cuckoo.

I cannot confirm or deny wearing white gloves...

Jesus Mike! Maybe I’m not as clumsy as I’ve spent my whole life being told I am!

Also I solved my early pandemic WFH snack problem by just not buying snacks when I went to the supermarket, can’t eat what isn’t there...

To each their own! I still put the record on the what's playing stand. I just don't get my grubby fingers all over the album sleeve every time I take the record out. I've had too many spline splits from putting the records back in and too much ringwear on my records when I had the albums in the cover itself.

Sorry, this is all I can think of with your typos:

You have heard about Brian Eno’s theory, backed up by the old dude who owns PS Audio and makes them videos, that a third speaker in a stereo system picks up on and makes more apparent a lot of ambient cues that a 2 speaker stereo systems misses.

This isn’t a 3.0 system it’s a third centre speaker situated behind you and wired into the other speakers in a 2 channel system...

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to put you on ignore so that Night Mather doesn't see this post.

Outer sleeves goal to me is to keep dust away.
 
MikeH said:
Yep! That's the method I like a lot better. Then I never fumble around trying to get the album out of the jacket every time and keep the cover looking all nice without ringwear. It's super easy to get the album out and play it and then put the jacket in sleeve on my now-playing stand.

Ok, I think that motivates me more to start storing my non tip-on jackets in outer sleeves! But for now, I’m definitely going to make sure there’s a lot of breathing room for the record jackets in each kallax! :)

Awesome to know I can use this method though for when I choose to use outer sleeves to store my records and jackets in though :)))
