MoFi Record Sleeve Alternatives?
I’ve been using MoFi anti static record sleeves, but I have a number of records where they are a tight fit. I could push hard enough to get the records in and out, but that doesn’t seem wise (plus it is annoying to remove a record from a tight fitting sleeve.
Anybody else run into this problem? Do you know of an alternative that is slightly larger than the MoFi? I bet a 1/16” would do it.

Try Klaudio or Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile sleeves. You’ll never look back!

I like the Diskeeper Ultimate. Much better behaved than the MoFi.

Plain simple el cheapo U shaped poly inners where you have the inner cardboard lyric sheet.
Covers 33 polylined paper sleeves with the corners cut - same as what Speakers Corner use. https://www.covers33.co.uk/product-c...inyl/12-paper/ with these two different types of inner sleeves, you will never use the audophool mofi sleeves ever again. |

I have wondered the same thing. I’ve really noticed it with my oldies. I’d say half of my older LPs are so tight I have to force them in to the point I expect the sleeve to rip along the edge. The difference between a perfect fit and too tight is very small, of course. So, a batch where they missed the tolerance is a “not unlikely” scenario. I checked and the Disckeeper Ultimate are wider, if dimensions are correct. I will give those a try.

Forgive me for butting in, but Turntable is in Australia I believe. Covers33 products I can recommend too, and they ship worldwide.

my suggestion is to buy in bulk with a couple of audio buddies, then give Covers 33 a call. They will look around and get you a better postage rate than on the web site. They are easily the best inner sleeves you can buy - when you don't have a cardboard lyric sheet. Cut on each corner for easy insertion and withdrawal - unlike the mofi ones which can stick going in and out. cheers |

This is an interesting discussion. I've never had an issue with the MoFi sleeves - I use gravity to let the LP slip in or out of them. But I'm curious about the alternatives - does Ivan carry the Klaudio sleeves????
