I just ordered and received a Megadeth album from you this past week. I love how you had it already packed in a nice sleeve that I could leave on it to protect it. It's a nice snug fit too. I hate those loose fits. Also, I want to commend you on the price of the record. I searched the internet and happened across your site and you're price+shipping was the most reasonable and I appreciate that. I also liked the personalized thank you on the receipt. That made me feel very appreciated as a customer. I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks.

Your videos are underrated👌

[@DeafManVinyl]

I appreciate that! We have fun making them. Although I do get busted for making the occasional stupid move (there's a freakin' lot of stuff to think about when the camera is rolling).

Aloha, Very informative information which I did not know...mahalo

[@DeafManVinyl]

So nice of you! Keep 'em spinning.

What about pvc transfer to the disc over time?

[@lwarrengrubb8841]

My bags are 2mm really clear plastic. Makes the album cover colors pop. Hate the flap plastic sleeve. Pain to get covers out and harder to get albums back in the sleeves

[@DeafManVinyl]

Agree. I toss the flappers when I get one.

[@Guitarnivore]

I despise those flappers too. I usually just cut along the crease and leave the flap attached to the adhesive part.

May I Ask anyone a question? I want to buy active speaker addon c 10 - and connect it directly to audio technica turntable . However I see There is " ground" thing apart from The red and white cable and I can see the speaker does not have place for this " ground" thing. So I should connect it and ignore this ground metal piece? Im totally New to turntables....

[@DeafManVinyl]

I think you can ignore it. You'd typically use the ground wire to ground to an amplifier or receiver. The powered speakers don't typically need to be grounded to the turntable (at least in my experience).

[@AnAntUnderTheRoof]

@@DeafManVinyl I almost cried over setting up The audio system so Im more than grateful for your reply. I decided to use passive speakers after All but thx again!

I'm old enough to have been around records my whole life, born in the 60. As someone that took care of their LPs, I never turned the inner sleeve pointing out, for 2 reasons..... first and foremost, if you have a loose cover, the LP can roll right out and hit the floor when handling them. Second, dust. Yet I see people doing videos about LPs and the first thing they do is pull them out and point the inner sleeve out. That drives me nuts. Yes, I can see if you have a shop and you are making them easier to inspect, but as a person that cares about vinyl, when you get them home, stick them back upright. Or if you are like me and you have some cool inner sleeves, store those with the LP outside of the cover. I use a loose fit with a static sleeve for the LP and keep the original inner sleeve in the cover. Of course Doing so one should take care in storing them and give them more space on the shelf or box. They do make sleeves with 2 pockets for that, but I have never bought any yet.......

[@DeafManVinyl]

Good points. We keep them open on the edge in the shop so folks can pop them out for a quick look. but yes, always good to seal that open edge.

[@Grecoguitardude]

I actually have mine in the hipster sleeve, then I put that in a dad pant sleeve as well,,,,,,cringe when I hear "audiophile",,,,,no such thing
