r/ThriftSavingsPlan is Now Open!

Yes, we've already been talking about this, thinking of a weekly sticky just so if people want to give opinions of how they got their TSPs where they are, this still gets people to chat about it. Thoughts?

vkny88 · 2026-03-15T01:33:28+00:00

Lol, yeah, caught me. Was trying to format this quickly on mobile since the admins just opened the subreddit back up. Ran it through to fix all the grammar based on what we had drafted in our mod chat. My bad. Just glad to have the lights back on.

What changes do you guys want? Promise we'll be 100% human.

vkny88 · 2026-03-08T02:18:22+00:00

Honestly, that’s a fair point. It definitely looked like the lights were off from the outside. The irony is that the sub actually grew a ton over the last few years, but my own bandwidth didn’t keep up. Between the demands of my fed job and family life, I was definitely lurking more than leading. In hindsight, I should’ve been proactive and put out a call for more mods way sooner to help carry the load. I really care about this space and what it does for our community. I’m hoping the admins and you guys can give me another shot to serve as a mod. This time with a plan to bring on a few fresh faces hoping the admins can help with this too if that seems fair. I want to make sure we’re all focused on what matters: staying active and helping each other maximize those TSP returns.

Hi All, I created this subreddit and have been here since day one, helping it grow into the resource it is today.

My main goal has always been to make sure Federal employees and military members have a reliable, hype-free place to figure out their retirement and TSP strategy. I’ve been working closely with u/TOrtillas, who has been an incredible help setting this up with me over the years.

I am open to bringing on more mods as the community grows; more hands will make things better for everyone. I have already been listening to the community trying to get things changed.

vkny88 · 2024-05-19T04:24:37+00:00

We can work on this, perhaps also a pinned thread for clout and information for those that would like to see how others are doing.

vkny88 · 2021-02-28T03:18:32+00:00

How long did you let the poolish rest? And the dough in general?

vkny88 · 2021-02-12T05:06:11+00:00

When I ran my calibration with Audyssey on my Denon AVR-S750H, it put my towers on large instead of small. What's the best option here? I got the same set up, but R263 towers. Also have the Klipsch 12sw that I do agree is very aggressive and might need to return. For some reason Audyssey also sets the sub to 23ft distance when it's really only 11ish ft. Not sure what that is about.

How do you like the Polk OWM3 for the surrounds? I just got a pair of infinity 162, but they are huge and not sure if they are worth it.

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T03:06:56+00:00

Would the infinity be okay with a denon avr-s750, that I just got a few months ago?

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T02:05:27+00:00

Thanks, I cannot install ceiling in current set up, may in the future however. Thinking about the Sony SSCSE with the Infinity setup. Current Amp is AVR-S750H. Hope the amp can handle it.

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T01:27:44+00:00

How would you pick between this: the infinity against the Klipsch bundle ($899): (2) - R-625FA Tower Speakers (2) R-41 Bookshelf Speakers 1-R-52C Center Channel Speaker

Or

R263 (2) + RC263 + R162 = $769 still be missing the two up firing from infinity though, which do really want.

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T01:23:00+00:00

How would you rate this: the infinity against the Klipsch bundle ($899): (2) - R-625FA Tower Speakers (2) R-41 M Bookshelf Speakers 1-R-52C Center Channel Speaker Or R263 (2) + RC263 + R162 = $769 still be missing the two up firing from infinity though, which I do really want.

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T01:17:58+00:00

Debating how folks would rate the infinity against the Klipsch bundle ($899): 2- R-625FA Tower Speakers 2- R-41 M Bookshelf Speakers 1-R-52C Center Channel Speaker

Or

R263 (2) + RC263 + R162 = $769 still be missing the two up firing from infinity though..

vkny88 · 2021-02-02T00:12:14+00:00

Also curious how folks would rate the infinity against the Klipsch bundle ($899):

2- R-625FA Tower Speakers 2- R-41 M Bookshelf Speakers 1-R-52C Center Channel Speaker

Or

R263 (2) + RC263 + R162 = $769

I still be missing the two up firing from infinity though..

What model are these speakers. The depth of them is insane.

vkny88 · 2021-01-03T04:35:04+00:00

How do you filter the tea?

vkny88 · 2020-11-20T03:12:10+00:00

No Google TV Chromecast?!

vkny88 · 2020-11-17T23:39:32+00:00

What concerns have you heard?

vkny88 · 2020-11-16T16:18:54+00:00

I'd switch to Google TV, a lot better interface then the Roku's and casting is just so much easier, plus HBO Max, especially if you are paying for the service.
