Custom Discogs display stylesheets (can be used with the Stylus browser add-on):
Dark mode - https://userstyles.world/style/2861/discogs-v220121
Full screen width & 200px thumbnail images - https://userstyles.world/style/7952/alternative-discogs-width
Indented & slightly smaller subtracks - https://userstyles.world/style/6933/discogs-index-track-tweak (already implemented in the above Dark mode)

All the above can be used in combination with each other, and be turned on/off any time at will.
Dark mode already implements the index/subtrack tweak.

Recent Discogs updates I appreciate:
-The new Master Release page with thumbnails & filters
-Update of RSG §2.5.2. so we can get rid of unnecessary and arbitrary use of aliases
-Update of RSG §13.8 (.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 [Alt] 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: Panosonic 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)
Soundcard: M-Audio Delta 1010LT (8a+2d i/o, 24bit, 96kHz) (Makes "digital" sound very nice, yes, even somewhat warm)
Acoustic: Wooden ceiling with open roof-structure (±1 beam every 45cm)
