    G'day Gray I just found them here in Australia $44.95 for 50 or $120.00 for 150 not so cheap but if they protect our vinyl then I suppose it's worth spending the coin. I think I'll try a fifty pack and see how they are.

    I live in Australia and tomorrow I will contact the people here that make the sandwich bags and put this to them and see if they will come to the rescue with a heavyweight version for LP's. I will post the outcome here, fingers crossed.

    G'day Oxfordian, I was always a fan of the outer plastic sleeve to protect the cover but I've never come across ones that can be sealed, sounds like an excellent idea, do you have a name or a link for these? I don't have cats but I like to keep thing as close to perfect as possible, I'm a little...

    G'day WayneKerr, Thanks for the reply. It's a murky little world to swim through after 40 years of cd's but I'm learning every day which is a good thing.

    An update on my direction after coming from the HiFi shop, I've made my mind up on the amp and speakers but the turntable not so much yet, I think I need another listen at a different store. The amp and the B&W 606's sound great together plus the upgrade potential of the amp. Any input on these...

    G'day Oxfordian, You mention getting inner sleeves, anti static I presume? Should one put these anti static sleeves inside the paper ones or get rid of the paper ones altogether. Its just that some of the paper sleeves contain artwork or lyrics?

    G'day Al ears, Ah, now there's another rabbit hole, record cleaning and cleaning equipment. I have a friend with a quite large vinyl collection who swears by a microfiber cloth and distilled water. Hmm, thoughts anyone???
