Bought Brian's PPX3 Slam, and he included a variety of tubes for me to play around with. First off, communication was fast and polite, he answered all my questions. Second, I did not actually send payment for the amplifier until after 10pm CST on Sunday night. Even so, he got the amplifier and tubes boxed up for shipment the next morning via DHL 2nd day. I received the amplifier this morning, which is Wednesday.
So far as packing goes, Brian set my new standard for well packaged electronics

Lets put it this way, I have enough bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts to last me for a long time to come. One large well taped box with two boxes inside swimming in a pool of bubble wrap and peanuts, and inside those two boxes were an amp wrapped in bubble wrap and similarly surrounded by peanuts, and the tubes were in cardboard boxes, individually wrapped in bubblewrap and sailing in a sea of peanuts.
Needless to say, Brian was prompt, courteous, and took great care in the packaging of my amp. Would definitely do business again.
