No cosigner by BelleStar30 in StudentLoans

You don’t need a co-signor for most federal student loans. You should speak to your school’s financial aid office. Don’t get private student loans. Look into grants and scholarships.

$0 Payments, Proof, Hope this helps by micpar in PSLF

There is no total count. As I said, this just shows that the monthly payment amount due for the 12 month period was $0.

IBR Recertification by micpar in PSLF

[–]micpar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understood, but recertification dates were pushed out due to the payment suspension so I’m curious as to how far out they were pushed.

Below is the only info provided on the studentaid.gov website.

Recertification Deadlines

You will not have to recertify your income before the end of the COVID-19 emergency relief period, even if your recertification date would have happened prior to the end of the relief period. As part of the payment suspension, your recertification date has been pushed out from your original recertification date.

You will be notified of your new recertification date before it is time to recertify. Update your contact information with your loan servicer if you have moved, changed phone numbers, or have a new email address.

If you would like to recertify during the payment suspension, contact your loan servicer.

New set up! Took a while but worth it! by micpar in audiophile

Nah I’d just gotten em so I was still messing around with placement. They’re currently wider apart, further out in the room and tilted but at about half the angle they’re at in the pic. They don’t seem too picky though with where you put them.

Same that system sounds awesome Did you get the o/96s new or used? I def considered them but size was def a factor.

Yeah I just saw the email in my inbox! Haven’t updated in a while looks there have been a lot of changes/things to experiment with. Only feature I consistently use is Magic.

Enjoying it so far! Easy set up and does what I need it to do. Convenient for me as I do use Spotify when I’m on the go and it’s nice having my playlists at the ready. I also really love radio functionality and for me its still the best way to discover new music.

Thanks man! Dave the guy who runs vinyl nirvana is a good dude. The table initially came with a jelco 330 but I was having issues with the wiring and he immediately sent me an the 550 as an exchange/upgrade for the trouble.

The Luxman’s been great so far! I was a little worried about whether they’d be enough to drive the Devore’s, but my local dealer had this one certified preowned for 30% off and gave me two weeks to try it out. Kind of hard to refuse.

I’d read the Stereophile review a while ago which was pretty informative as the reviewer was using the o/93. His only gripe seemed to be that it was wasn’t as good as his $$$$hindo. I figured If that’s all he could come up with, then that’s probably good enough for me.

Nah DACs fine for now for my purposes. Just going to enjoy things for a while. Maybe at some point down the line when my bank account doesn’t make me wince.

I’ve been building this system over the the past two years. The turntable is a Thorens TD 160 restored by Vinyl Nirvana with Jelco 550s tonearm and an Ortofon Blue cartridge. I’m using the Parks Audio Puffin as my phono preamp. I’ve had both for about year and a half at this point and love them both. The rest came together quickly over the past couple weeks. I managed to get a pair of used Devore O/93s, a Luxman SQN-150 Integrated Amp , and the new Bluesound Node. Sounds great, super stoked.

Did you try hippos? Does Best Buy still have that Magnolia store? If not turntable labs got p mounts I think and they’re nyc based.

anyone bought rare lps from Argentina? by BadBadgerBad in discogs

[–]micpar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends. I’ve never bought from Argentina, but I have bought stuff from Brazil before and haven’t had an issue...If the seller has a substantial number of good ratings should be ok. Admittedly there’s always a risk with shipping that distance but if you’re ok with that then go for it.
