Dear Paul, Excellent presentation and captivating content. Very well done. Thank you very much for more of your sonic wisdom. Kindest regards. 🙂
By far the best sleeves I’ve ever tried and Todd from MA recordings is a gentleman. I have many of his records on vinyl and CDs and all are fantastic.
10!!!!!!! my girlfriend was arguing with me because she did not want to add more plastic on this planet, and boom !!! here they are !!! thank god
I've been using the Diskeeper Ultimate Inner sleeves for my personal collection, as well as higher priced used records available in my store for a few years, but I'd be willing to give these a try.
Looks very much like the Tyvek stuff they use for those crime-scene coveralls! Very interesting, would love to try these.
last time FOCUS, this time THIJS VAN LEER 🙂, totally different music, grtz from the Netherlands
Absolutely :)

Hi, thanks for posting this, I have been squinting and pausing and even re-watching to try reading the sleeve, I could see there is something in the first word, but I definitely need new glasses, I just couldn't make out the J in thiJs, a genuine huge thank you for taking the time 😊
Excellent review Paul. These will be my next inner sleeves purchase. I will use your links as always, in the hope you are rewarded for this review!

Over the past 5 years I have re-sleeved my entire collection with both inner and outer sleeves from Vinyl Storage Solutions. A Canadian based company. Their sleeves are archival quality and less expensive than the MOFI sleeves. They have a variety of inner and outer sleeves. 2mm and 3mm thick inner sleeves. I prefer the 3mm thick inner sleeves. They have sleeves designed for gate fold albums. And much more. P.S.: They also make sleeves designed for Box Sets.
Me Too.
Yup they are my choice too.
Thanks, I have just purchased a bunch of new to me records that I am in the process of cleaning. My best friend gave me some of the MoFi sleeves that she uses and were recommended to her. I will buy a pack of the MA Recordings sleeves and let her decide which she wants to use for herself. Here in Canada those two brands are nearly the same price. Thanks for making another great video.
And thank you for watching.
Hi Paul, I just received a pack of these sleeves from MCRU. First impressions are very positive, so many thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the feedback, Jon - glad you're happy with them :)
Ordered 20. Let’s see.
Enlightening presentation. Looking forward to a comparison of outer sleeves. Some of them a maddeningly difficult to fit the album into.
I hear you and totally agree. There should be a small amount of extra space so that you don’t have to fight getting the record into the sleeve. I also like the idea of having a small overlap on one side so that you can insert the record easier.
Hello, Paul. I have to admit that my record collection has suffered benign neglect over the past few (?) decades. However, since I have built out a new 2.2 channel system over the past 18 months, including a new Music Hall Classic TT, I am endeavoring to remedy the situation as best I can. I am very interested in knowing your further thoughts on inner sleeves and outer sleeves. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Another advantage of synthetic materials, in addition to the lower friction that reduces static, is that they're less likely to turn acidic over time. Polyethylene, unlike paper, won't give off acidic bi-products, so it's safe for archival storage. I wonder about the synthetic material used here. Would it qualify as archival in this way?
No issues with Mofi sleeves here, but I do a full ultrasonic clean and dry via a Degritter v1 before swapping sleeves.
I wonder if people complaining about Mofi sleeves are buying through Amazon through 3rd party sellers. Could be counterfeit?
I’m working on a large MoFi inner sleeve clone group test so we’ll find out together :)
What about people on a tight budget or those with several thousand records to re sleeve? Can you recommend any budget sleeves that are nearly as good?
Sure - in this video: th-cam.com/video/79ADg-accNk/w-d-xo.html
Vinyl Storage Solutions has great inner sleeves at different prices, materials and features.
I use Panmer Polylined Black Anti-static sleeves after cleaning used records, half the price of these MA offerings. But agree; vinyl needs to be mega-dry before entering a new sleeve. Reviewing inner sleeves Paul - really? lol.
Thought I’d go ‘grass roots’ for a bit. Be a bit ‘street’ and all that ;)
don't like the ma inner sleeves much find they crease more than mofi and harder to get in record sleeve
Why didn't you cover the question of static? That was my first question upon seeing these with the material and you never addressed that, why not?
Also, can you please change the chime sound of when you talk about like and subscribing as the high pitch really hurts my ears, please and thank you
I did, actually, but I now realise that static was addressed only within an in-depth interview I did with the designer which can be found on my Patreon page (www.patreon.com/audiophileman) but yes, I should have at least mentioned it in the vid. I thought I had but was mistaken.
And I can't change the chime sound but I can lower the volume - no probs. Hope that helps.
