Interesting to note, the safer way* to install these is with the ground plug on top.

Why?

If something metal falls between the plug and the outlet, across the two powered blades, it can cause a spark or fire.

Outlet Ground Pin Up or Down? - Archtoolbox

A discussion of whether a three-prong outlet should be mounted with the ground pin up or down.

*Just one opinion, of course.

That's interesting, all the plugs in my house are upsidedown and I never knew why. Thanks for the explanation, that actually makes a lot of sense.

If for some reason somebody doesn’t have Lintons yet, looks like Upscale still has them on sale:

Wharfedale Linton Heritage Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair)

The original LINTON was well known for its warm, rich and natural sounding character and the new Wharfedale LINTON retains that standing but imbues it with an open, detailed performance that will entice you to explore your whole music collection, once more.

The owner wanted more for the used PD-171 than what I could get a new PD-151 MK2 for. He turned down my offer flat.

Thanks for looking out. The search continues!

Does the Node ever go on sale when it’s not Christmas? I know MusicDirect had marked off $100 during the holidays but I wasn’t in a position to buy.
