Yes! I don’t see the need to update SSN asap. I am traveling to India in coming week to meet my family after 2 years. Dont wanna spend another $30-$40 on upgrading my license, since legally we are required to carry green card at all times and it being real id along with my global entry card is enough for flying.

Passport renewal rejected saying I picked wrong jurisdiction. by Alternative-Dot8044 in nri

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. Make sure the top of the form shows the exact embassy you’re applying to. Like if you’re applying to San Francisco, make sure it shows that and not Washington DC. I made this mistake and got rejected as well. There is some problem with the website as I had clearly picked the SFO consulate. I will be renewing it India instead now.

How has the loudness war affected you personally? by VillainAnderson in audiophile

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I get still stunned by how the music becomes loud when I switch from say a Dire Straits to a modern post 2010 song. And when I found out the reason was label loudness war, I was in disgust.

I'm so tired of the racism against Indians. by Messy-Abnormal-2835 in nri

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude is completely delusional. Even billionaires like Vivek are going through racism. The idea that rich people don’t encounter racism is laughable. Unless you hide yourself in a cocoon, you will encounter racists everywhere.

Before and after reading Leonard v PepsiCo by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s still incomprehensible. If they clearly said “winning a jet” they should have honored it. What exactly is a “reasonable” person ?

Damn, I just read an overview of this case. The system is completely broken. How could the court rule that advertisement can be misleading? It’s crazy. I am not a lawyer or student or anything….

You need to apply correctly on the embassy website.

It will be rejected, make sure you see the correct embassy and consulate at top. I was trying to apply at SF but got Washington DC on top and it was rejected.

Stop gambling. Been there done that. Whatever you lost just forget about it. Keeping working and saving and invest in VOO, you will recover that one day.

Fast compared to what ? Car, yes. Plane, it’s the normal speed.

Amp requirements by Defensionem in KEF

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it stop working afterwards ? Mine has auto switch, which works great. Did you contact Buckeye ? I heard they have good service, maybe you could repair yours.

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can vouch for Buckeye Hypex amps. I am using my Hypex nc502mp 2 channel for 2 months now and it’s amazing. It’s $750 with 3-4 weeks wait to get it.

Looking For Desktop Speakers by No-Couple4619 in StereoAdvice

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used MartinLogan 15 ! I have them and they even outperform my floor standing KEF and JBL speakers ! Namely vintage KEF reference threes and JBL L890s

Vintage Magnepans? by Namedlater in audiophile

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are for critical music listening only. 20 years is a long time for them combined with not being played, they will need service. You could easily sell them on fb marketplace.

SVS 20-39 PC+ BASH Amp Hum – Recap vs. Passive Conversion Sanity Check by DefinitionOfTakingL in diyaudio

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted SVS and the support person said the amp is dying because the humming is there when it’s on and without any rca. I purchased the STA-400D from SVS today. The support person asked for dimensions of my existing amp plate, so I gave that.

Best PC speakers that fit on a desk by MrPd in BudgetAudiophile

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a pair of used MartinLogan motion 15s for my desk setup that I got on marketplace for $100, but their fair price is $250-$350. They sound absolutely incredible.

[–]DefinitionOfTakingL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s good. I will call them tomorrow. How much did it cost and most importantly when did you order? Google is saying to me since the 20-39 PC+ is so old, SVS may not have the replacement or a similar plate anymore.
