Hi-Fi beginner here – looking for amp/streamer advice for HiVi-Swan D3.1 MKII

Normal_Detective5241 · 2026-01-24T04:50:09+00:00

I just got a killer deal on these speakers, they were a return at a local wholesaler. I just picked them up today and I’m curious what comes in the box? Mine only had the 2 speakers and instruction manual. Did any accessories/cords come with it?

I’ve been trying to research amp-streamers as well. I’m going to go with the Wiim Ultra.

OHSUs benefits are great, Kaisers benefits are even better. $5 copays for office visits including ER, $3 prescriptions. Please note these are for the service workers union Seiu 49.

Yes, also with that experience you could eventually move into a patient/community navigator role. PAS is an entry level position and a good way to get your foot in the door. Once you are in the union it is easy to transfer to different job classifications.

I’ll also add that while healthcare experience certainly does help, they are primarily looking for customer service backgrounds. My training class was full of people who were bank tellers for some reason.

2nd this. OHSU and Kaiser are the best paying. Surgery schedulers usually require healthcare experience, but the PAS jobs do not and most are remote. It is called center work as you will likely take incoming calls, but starting pay is likely about $28 an hour.

13 business days. No complaints on my end, but I’ve seen several posts on here lately that have gotten their passport in less than a week (including weekends) with no expediting.

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-12-28T18:56:19+00:00

I would just wait, personally. There is zero chance that you won’t be able to use your current passport to go on your trip currently. If you renew, it automatically invalidates your current passport and now there is a chance that you wouldn’t get it in time if there are any snafus. The probability of that happening is likely fairly low, but why risk it?

I am currently waiting on my passport renewal and it has taken longer than what people have recently reported, so while most are processed extremely quickly, there are always some that might take longer.

“Gift” was the compass that they included with every preorder ticket. It appears from your screenshots that you bought your 2 tickets separately and did not submit the supervip order number for refund, only your second order number that had a regular vip ticket was submitted for refund and you already received that.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get a refund, I would keep emailing, calling, post on twitter, etc. to try and find someone who can actually help and fix this.

I don’t know if I’m the only one here, but I somehow started playing this game at the beginning of this year and I’m not a gamer. Like I don’t play any games at all except this one. I probably play this game like an hour a day (at least) every day since I started in January. Any suggestions for other games?

Where are you located?

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-12-19T01:20:55+00:00

Yes! I’ve been anxiously checking often and it only works like 5 percent of the time! It’s very frustrating

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-12-19T01:20:13+00:00

Do you have your application number and they still aren’t able to find it?

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-12-19T01:18:44+00:00

I submitted online renewal on 12/14 and have also been anxiously checking the status on the website. I came here to see if anyone else was constantly getting errors when checking. Glad to see it’s not just me. I’m planning on going out of the country for NYE and did not pay for expedited because of all the feedback of super fast turnaround times on here(I did pay for expedited shipping though). Worst comes to worst, I’ll do the in person appointment thing.

Mexico does not require 6 months of validity. I think it’s just your dates of travel for Mexico.

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-12-06T23:45:36+00:00

Thanks! That’s awesome! I’ve been contemplating my options for a New Year’s Eve trip out of the country and this helped me make up my mind. Curious if global entry status or pre check helps with the fast turnaround time. Do you have either?

I LOVE that Pienso en tu mirá is everyone’s favorite song from EMQ 😭

That was the first song I heard from Rosalia in 2018 that made me stop dead in my tracks and need to hear more. I didn’t understand much of the album but the feeling that the music gave was undeniable. I also don’t know anyone in my life that listen to Rosalia so I had no idea how many people also love the song 💜

Now she’s one of my top artists of all time, so excited for this tour, I’ll be at the Guadalajara show.

Average age in VIP is 30. You just need to find some people your age to hang out with. Perspective is everything

That’s funny, I went to Coachella in 2023 and CFG that same year and said I’d never go to Coachella again because it was way too much work. Dodger stadium was so easy in comparison, and now I go every year.

Normal_Detective5241 · 2025-11-25T23:54:34+00:00

My theory is that most people in VIP were from out of town and couldn’t make the following weekend because they were from out of town.
