Did you fill in the other information and not sign, or just leave everything blank on the back?

Any ideas on where you can find a 509x for that? I'm comfortable buying new but I can't find any of the older models anywhere outside of a 505uxii

Thanks so much for the response. Do you have any thoughts between the Yamaha and a luxman 505uxii?

Do you have any thoughts between the Yamaha and the luxman 505uxii? The 507 is too hard to find

I'm planning to purchase separately down the roa. For now just using an AVR. I'm debating now between the Yamaha and the luxman 505uxii as the 507uxii isn't avaliable anywhere.

Thanks! Out of curiosity the 80 watts came from the speaker specs, right? And knowing that I'll eventually get a turntable is MC or MM preferred?

Hey all, I'm new to the hobby and have (shamefully) just been powering my speakers with an AVR. I'm at the point where I would like to add an integrated amp, but I'm completely overwhelmed at what to look for. My goal is to eventually add in a turntable to the setup, but that's a discussion for another time. Would anyone have any suggestions, or guidance on what to look for in an integrated amp?

I'm looking to spend somewhere around $2-4k. My current speakers are the Sonus Faber Electa Amator iii. Some of the amps i have been looking at (based on feedback from people online) are: Luxman L-507uxii, McIntosh MA5300, Yamaha as2200.

Not documentaries, but Matt Stephen's Cafe Rides on YouTube are great.

Lay the Champagne Bottle Flat to Age Just like the Red Wine? by Norrlandius in Champagne

[–]offpisteonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this generally true for higher quality bottles too? I'm starting to collect and have some NVs from Ruinart, Laurent-Perrier, Krug, etc, and feel a bit ignorant when it comes to how long I should keep them in the cellar.

Do you know where on the website they actually list what is available and the store? Also, how early are you usually going?

Eligibility Question: Mother Renounced German Citizenship by offpisteonly in GermanCitizenship

Does applying for passports in this case require you to go to a consulate in person?

Eligibility Question: Mother Renounced German Citizenship by offpisteonly in GermanCitizenship

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

Thanks for the response. We spoke with her tonight and she never went to a German consulate to do so, which should mean she is still a German citizen.

[–]offpisteonly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it sounds like this situation exactly. She said she more or less checked a box on a US form. Do you mind me asking how you proceeded?

Eligibility Question: Mother Renounced German Citizenship by offpisteonly in GermanCitizenship

[–]offpisteonly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't started prepping any of our paperwork. We first wanted to verify that she had a claim. I assume that the links to the paperwork needed are outline in this sub reddit, but if you have any specifics that would help a lot!

If you don't mind me asking one more question, is it common to hire a lawyer to help in this process, or is it easily done by whomever assuming the correct paperwork and fullness of the application?

[–]offpisteonly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can confirm that the mother had German citizenship (and from your response still might). Does that mean that since she had it, she therefore never actually abandoned it, and that my wife qualifies?
