Lets see your headphone stations

[Ahhzz]

That is gorgeous, and for Walnut at that price, I'd grab it if I wanted a special stand for my phones in a heartbeat....

@Puma99dk |, just google 'omega headphone stand' at Amazon and ebay, you should be able to find some. I had three initially, the one on which my AKG K812 sits actually came with the K812, looks to be of pretty good quality. The lighter colored one in the pic (on which the HD800 rested) was bough for about ~30USD.

Silly me, just clicked on your link, that one costs about 15.70USD (converted from pounds) and that's quite reasonable actually. Why didn't you get it?

my problem is if I need to shop outside EU it can't be more expensive than about 11USD, €10 or £8 because otherwise comes ridicules import taxes but I might found one in the UK on ebay so I might go with that one

Great! Keep us updated on your headphone stand situation. I recall that when I'd first gone into cans, I was buying cans left, right and center. Had about twenty cans at one stage that I'd not have the space to put 'em all even if I were to buy separate stands for each. Ended up with a hat hanger (of all things! )

 

[WhiteNoise]

hahaha that's fantastic!

I was in the same boat actually. I bought headphones constantly while I looked for what I would prefer. At one point I had around 15 pair. I sold off most of it though. I kept 7 pair but only use three on a regular basis:

Audeze LCD2, Sennheiser HD600 and Grado 325is (depnding on which amp I'm using and music type.)

I recently purchased a new piece to add to my collection. It is a Magnavox 8802 Stereo Tube Amp Push Pull 6V6

It's been fully gone through and upgraded where needed and set in a custom painted box. Looks killer and I look forward to hearing it.

I also picked up HiFiman HE-Adapter to allow me to use my LCD2 headphones with speaker amps. I'll be running some 92db speakers with it as well but I do hope the LCD's work well with it. If so then I will sell off my Ember tube amp.

 

[GamerGuy]

Whoa, never thought of driving the LCD2 (I had the LCD 2.2 nF a while back) from speaker taps, perhaps that's why I wasn't really impressed by it. But then, a lot of it had to do with the rather dark sound signature of the LCD2.2, to my ears anyway. I guess that's why I gravitate toward the HFM planar mag cans, they have decent bass and aren't dark sounding. Only other orthodynamic cans I've tried were the MrSpeakers Alpha Dog and a modded Forstex T50RP which I love.

Seriously though, the one can that surprised me with its speed and surreal-like bass is my Grado GS1000i, it has a really unique bass quality.....surprised the heck outta me when I'd first tried it. I have the PS1000 too, and though it has stronger bass, it lacks the speed and attack of the GS1ki. The bass on the PS1k sounds lush and thick.....it simply lacks the speed of the GS1ki.......though one must be able to enjoy or, at the very least, tolerate the sparkly treble on the GS1ki.

Edit - BTW, I'm still using that hat rack to hang some of my other cans, it can actually hold nine cans on its own, but I'd added three more actual headphone hangers/mounts (lowest row in pic) that I'd gotten from Amazon, hence it can now hold twelve cans at a go. Still not enough for me.......

 

[WhiteNoise]

I too have the LCD 2 w/F. I love the sound of them but I think they will come alive further with some proper power hence the reason for buying the Magnavox 8802. I just love tubes, the warm and lush sound which works well with the LCD cans. When I listen to rock I do prefer the speed of the Grado 325 and I have wanted to grab the GH1 for awhile now. I've seen a few good deals on it but so far haven't pulled the trigger. The hat rack is a fantastic idea and made me laugh. Pretty cool.

There are a few more headphones I would like to own including the HE-6 and PS1000. Later though. I spend too much money on this hobby as it is!

Here is a pic of my latest amp. Arrived today and I'm totally impressed so far.

Whoa, even nicer than the previous one! Is this a power amp for your speakers? What preamp and speakers are you using? What's the source gear? PC, CD Player, some sorta streamer?

It is a speaker amp yes and is powering a set of Hsu Research speakers. I also have a HiFiMan HE Adapter that allows me to run my headphones off the speaker taps because this amp is now powering my LCD2 headphones.
My MHDT Lab Pagoda DAC feeds it and the source is a Rotel RDV-1092 CD player and my PC.

This amp does not require a preamp. The builder designed it as a standalone unit with it's own gain dial.

This amp is a Magnavox 8802 push pull 6V6; completely rebuilt and upgraded, originally pulled from some vintage Magnavox console.

 

[Harry9001]

Damn i aint even got one :/ I just throw my headphones on the computer table.

PS ive got Sennheiser headphones

 

[WhiteNoise]

You need a hat rack!

 

[Shou Miko]

Got my headphone stand yesterday and I through the delivery should be able to read and write bcs I ordered this from the UK but the note that the danish national post put in my mailbox said Germany

Srsly if the UK was so close to the danish border I would go more often

 

[WhiteNoise]

That looks great! I love those stands. I need a couple more actually.

Whoa Nellie! nice man cave'ish setup there! Wish I had the space to set up something like this.

You need a hat rack!

Ain't that the truth, brah!

BTW, puma99dk |, very nice headphone stand you've got there, I like that it has those rounded mounts (or whatever they're called) as feet, mine do not have those.

Well i think I'm pretty much done with my pc/headphone station...can't think of anything else I want or need at the moment...though I wouldn't mind adding an EL88 tube amp to my stack! lol

Been using a bunch of old PC game boxes of beloved classics that I velcroed together (don't have a pic of it at work unfortunately).
For those that don't remember what a box looked like

So do I. And the best part about the "game boxes headphone stand" is that you can change the appearance as often as you like
