Buying Used Speakers
Shipping speakers is different.   Just because they have the factory packaging doesn’t mean they will survive FedEx or UPS.   I bought a pair of Dali Helican 800’s that UPS destroyed the bases.  Good scratch and dent deal for me after I restored t... 
Townshend platform under digital component or amplifier ?
I have Townshend podium under my TAD ME1 speakers, a platform under my Aesthetix Calypso preamp, and pods under my Luxman L-509X all clearly beneficial sonic improvement.    
Don’t over power condition!
Did you remove the Puritan from the power chain and test with just the RF-Stop to validate if there is indeed an issue with the RF-Stop to validate your claim of over over conditioning?  Seems to me it would be a simple test.  
Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage
I've considered this myself before.   Read the airline's fine print for what they will accept responsibility for.  I think I looked up Southwest and the way I read it they took no responsibility and provided no value for damage or lost if not in ...

Aesthetix Calypso is a tried and true design that has held its own for over a decade now.    
$5K KUZMA TONEARM FOR ONLY $690! Gryphon Diablo for Only $699!
It would not hurt my feelings if you had to wait a day, or at least until someone at Agon had a chance to review and approve listing(s) before they were allowed to post.       I hit buy it now on two items that were listed in Hayes, KS a week ago... 
SVS sub owners, Past and Present
I’ve had a SB3000 for 4-5 months now in a two channel system to supplement a pair of Dali Helicon 800 speakers.  For the price I can’t complain.     The interactive app is good with one exception.  This is only my opinion.  You can create profile... 
Seller Listing Pet Peeve
Artemus - you nailed it regarding the fact different configurations for the same component are not uncommon.  Include the information and picture and eliminate all doubt.  
DHL and the definiton of insanity
I always have value items sent to work for the same reasons.  Although our doors get locked at 4pm and I don’t usually answer calls that I’m unfamiliar with.  A DHL delivery was turned away a while back for this reason.  I went on line and was abl... 
Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products)
There was always a lag in shipping from when I ordered them to when they shipped for the different products I have purchased from Townshend.     The F1 speaker cables took the longest - about 3 weeks to ship.  But John was always able to give a f...
