„A person of any mental quality has ideas of his own. This is common sense.” ()
„Rules ask to be called into question. We should obey them only if, after thorough scrutiny, they still make normative sense, and, even then, not without reservations.” ()

Recent Discogs updates I appreciate:
-The new Master Release page with thumbnails & filters
-Update of so we can get rid of unnecessary and arbitrary use of aliases
-Update of (.1&.2) so it is clear promotional material should not be present in the primary image
-Update so the Stereo tag can now be used plain and factually, not just to distinguish from mono versions

If you edit a sub of mine, and get a 'thanks' message, this means I approve the edit, but cannot vote because I would be voting on my own.

Be warned for the Space Monster!
Unicode non breakings space in Windows OS: Hold and enter 0160
Use this to create extra space in for instance runouts, spine information, ... where information is clearly separated from each other.
A non breaking space is always parsed as a normal space and cannot be copy/pasted.
Don't use multiple non-breaking spaces to simulate effective spacing, just use it to avoid lumping information together that shouldn't be lumped together.
Of course: never use them in artist/label/company/... names.
Playback installation:
Amp: Pioneer SA-9800 (very sweet & fingerlicking, let's the source speak for itself)
TT: Dual CS-5000 with Ortofon OM20 (nude elliptical) + D25M (mono) + 78 (shellac) (Top turntable)
TT2: Lenco L75/S (very punchy, needs better arm, indestructible and high torque) + Various carts/styli
CD: Philips CD608 (decent budget player, no complaints)
MiniDisc: Sony MDS-JE510 (also serves as DA for television & CD, it is what it is, no complaints)
Tuner: Rotel RT-300 (Antenna: 2 Antique Candles & 1 clock in gilded cast iron)
Television: Panasonic 55" OLED (astonishing moving pictures)
Housing: Massive Oak Plate with pine structure, bound to the wall at back side, vinyl compartment in multiplex plates for added weight/stability (homebrew creation)
Speakers: JLB TLX-8 (Sounds as good as what you feed it)
Audio interface: MOTU Ultralite mk5
Acoustic: Wooden ceiling with open roof-structure (±1 beam every 45cm)

There is a phenomenon called "frame of reference", "unconscious framing" or "implicit framing", where one poses a question that leads the majority answering from a certain perspective, without any intend to (mis)lead anyone. While often a completely different answer would be given by the same majority if the same questions was posed in a different way. As such, it's always a good thing to strip down the information to the bare minimum, and try to read the posed problem in a blank frame. Warning, this might lead to being considered a dissident, as one approaching things different from the others just for the sake of it. Apply this suggestion at your own risk.
