@nprofile1q... he was talking about making a better Americano.

@nprofile1q... I use inner and outer sleeves when I need to (ie, the album doesn’t come with one or the other). But it’s the inner sleeves I’m out of. Paper sleeves should be replaced with poly sleeves as the paper will 1, scratch the surface of the album; 2, they will introduce a static charge.

My usual routine is:

1. Get record in the house
2. Put it into my Discogs
3. Clean the records
4. Replace the inner sleeve if needed
5. Add outer sleeve if needed
6. Put records in ‘new stuff to play’ crate

@nprofile1q... yeah. Most of my modern purchases have poly sleeves so I don’t necessarily need to replace them, but I got a bunch of used ones last week, and they all had their original paper sleeves.

@nprofile1q... but in the end you get the thing you want… AND the feeling of being the one who made it work. Worth it. :-)

@nprofile1q... nice!
