Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Sleeve Town is sending me a sample of their best inner and out sleeves for free. I'll compare them to what I got a Music Direct and post about it when they arrive. 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Thanks Larry, I'll look into it. 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Hi Mark, Yes, the sleeves are really nice. Seem like the manufacturers have us over a barrel on the cost of this stuff though. Sometimes I wonder how much more effective these cleaning fluids are over the homemade varieties. My plan is to give eac... 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Cytocycle, I've been giving the albums a dry brush treatment before putting them in the new sleeves. I'll do a thorough wash when I get my Kab EV-1. I'm going to get some sample sleeves for a penny each at Sleeve Town and compare. I'll post my fin... 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Well I got my order today from Music Direct. I got 300 outer sleeves and 100 poly lined paper inner sleeves (to start*). The outer sleeves were advertised as 6 mil, and are very nice. Double albums fit with little hassle. It's easy to see the albu... 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Thanks again Mark for your precise help. I'm going to call Music Direct and inquire about the 6 mil outer sleeves as well as inners. Do you really need inner sleeves if you put the whole album, cover and all, in an outer sleeve? I'm suspecting tha... 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
I forgot to mention that I hit the motherload during the past week finding well over 200 albums in virtually brand new condition (even the sleeves look like new) and all for $1 each. Everything from obscure Gentile Giant LP's to Ry Cooder, Steely ... 
Record Sleeves - Which ones and where?
Thanks for the tips guys. As far as the outer sleeves(Hartwerger, I believe the "plastic covers" and "outer sleeves" are one in the same, and keep your albums from getting scuffed up), I like the idea of a thicker 6 mil sleeve (thanks Markd51!). I... 
I Need a Power Amp for my Studio Monitors
I've heard the Brystons are good in the bass department, but lacking in the mids and highs. I'm wondering how a Hafler Transnova P-4000 would compare to the Bryston. I see lot's of Haflers in studios too. There's one for sale locally brand new for... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Does anyone have any pics of the VR-4SR MK2 in Ebony? There aren't very many pics of this finish anywhere. The sample pic looks like they are brown and black striped. If you have any pics, send them to me at davids39@bigplanet.com. Ozzy, do your s... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy, Did you have to drill holes in the bottom of your speakers for the outriggers? 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
Audiooracle, I understand your intentions, and your apology is accepted. Thanks to everyone who gave me some insight about the WP's. I think I'm going to give them a try. 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
Thanks to those of you who are sticking to the subject matter. To clear up any "price vs performance" issues, I can get a pair of WP 7's with about 1 year of use on them for around $12,500. I believe the "other" speakers recommended in this postin... 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
Hey Rlawry, Did you find your 7's to be too analytical or lean sounding? I want to hear body in my music, not a flat neutral response. I've never heard Watt Puppy's before but I get the sense that a lot of people think they're not musical. I thoug... 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
Thanks for the input guys. Since my topic was about WP 7's and Pass amplification, I shall refrain from saying anything other than I have the opportunity to get a pair of beautiful WP 7's with low hours on it for $4k less than other speakers menti...
