I can't find rice-paper sleeves ANYWHERE. I'd like to get some of
those rounded Nagaoka's but I can't find anything at all. Does anyone
know where I can pick some up? I didn't see any on Audio Advisor or
Music Directs' websites.

Thanks,
Steve

Acoustic Sounds has record sleeves. The web site doesn't say if they are
rice paper or not.

Here's a place that advertises rice paper sleeves:

http://www.redtrumpet.com/accessories/?sid=1092166112

You have to scroll pretty far down the page (under "Red Trumpet Products")
to find it.

But "rice paper" seems to be one of those terms that people throw around
rather freely, so I can't guarantee that this product is what you want. I
recall seeing it used in the past to describe a product that was clearly
plastic, not paper. (I'm not even sure you can make paper from rice.)

As a practical matter, modern plastic-lined sleeves are widely available and
widely used by audiophiles, with no reported ill effects that I've ever
seen. (Earlier plastics apparently had a tendency to fuse with the disk,
which was not a good thing.)

Yeah I'm not quite sure what people mean when they say "rice-paper
sleeves" either... I'm a 16 year old getting into vinyl and I want to
take care of them as best I can. I am constantly seeing that
rice-paper sleeves are the best but upon researching I can only seem
to find mention of sleeves with rice paper sandwiched between 2 layers
of HDPE. I'm not sure if this is the type of sleeve everyone's
recommending, or if there's a plain rice-paper one that's best. I am
finding the Mobile Fidelity sleeves but they don't actually have
rice-paper in them. Does anyone know the *best* inner-sleeve you can
get today?

Thanks,
Steve
