Drat and triple drat.  I've been using poly-lined paper inners for a while now, but I've come to realise that their anti-static properties are nowhere near as good as the Nagaoka style d-shaped ones. Records that have only just been cleaned look like they haven't been cleaned for a while. Pulled out some older vinyl with the d-shaped and they look near spotless. And of course I've just received 50 more of the buggers!! Guess what I'll do is get some d-shaped and put them inside the new paper inners to make them more secure. I used to get irritated with the corners of the d-shape inners that can get bent in the sleeve but I'll put up with that for clean records. Might try the inners from Snow Records since they are supposed to be stupidly cheap and good quality. I'd still like to know if there are any good poly lined paper inners that have just as good anti-stat qualities ... |

I've been saying for a long time that nothing touches the Nagaoka D-shaped inner sleeves. They may be fiddly but their ability to completely remove static from a record over a period of a week or so is remarkable. Use them inside the current sleeve, keeping them together. It makes it a lot easier.

Ditto.
And yes, the Snow records ones are cheap and identical as far as I can tell.

Personally i knocked the specialised Inners on the Head.I find it an utter waste of time & money.. I just buy bog standard Poly lined inners with no problem at all. If you lot packed it in with the carbon fibre brushes etc you would not get so much static. www.covers33.co.uk/product-category/vinyl/record-paper-covers/ |

I must disagree, Andr'e. Static is a big problem for records and eliminating it is a big positive step forwards for playback and longevity.

Well, I don't have problems with static and never have but I buy inner sleeves to keep my records clean. The ones from Snow are also a sight cheaper than those you linked to Andre, so no wasted time or money.

Have you never struggled to remove a new record from its inner sleeve, Chris, so heavy is the static adhesion?

Well yes.
But I didn't say I don't ever see static, just that it doesn't cause me problems. I only ever see it on new, or newly bought secondhand, records. After I clean them they are no longer charged.
I sold my Zerostat because after I bought my RCM I never used it. Ever.

Oh, ok fair enough. I find that keeping them in Nagaoka sleeves, regardless of whether they've been in the RCM or not, keeps them completely free of static. The hidden benefit is no attraction of dust into the grooves while the record is spinning.

Carbon fibre brushes are a no no with me i always use a vintage Watts 'Parostatik' Preener, They don't introduce any static to my records. Poly linned inner are for one thing & one thing only, keep your records safe & free from possible scratches that you will no dobt get if you used a standard paper inner sleeve. As always things are made into a big deal  |

Bargain eh? I found that the sweet spot was to buy 3 packs. Any more than that and the postage skews the price.

The 1/2 circle design is good if the sleeves are slightly thicker/heavier than the nagaoka 102, they are easier to get in and out.
I buy 10,000 at a time direct from a factory in China. They are also useful to give away as a freebie with a RCM!
