the inner sleeves from Todd are great. I'm happily resleeving my best lps in them, often replacing other high quality sleeves with these because they feel soooo fine.
I've also been recleaning these same records with the bug(tussell)juice. i am using a vpi 16.5. they were all previously cleaned with vpi's cleaning fluid on the same machine. many were also gone over carefully with "the disc dr."'s fluid and brush. on each there has been an improvement from the bugjuice. the albums i've bought more recently (some new and many used) have been cleaned with it alone with excellent results. (I use the 2 oz. concentrate mixed with 1 gallon distilled water, so I'm going full strength on everything).
noticably quieter play on the following treasures:
Japanese "pro-use" pressing of abbey road
white label promo of "if i could only remember my name"
1st english pressings of "stand up" and "tea for the tillerman"
new copies of jennifer warrens "the well" and the shins "chutes too narrow"
1st pressings of 3 atlantic otis redding lps.
von karajan beethoven symphonies from 1962/3
a boatload of miles davis on mosaic, classic and columbia 6-eye
