I sold my Headphile stand, and have regretted it ever since. Larry does fabulous work, and its "replacement", an Ikea paper-towel-holder-thingie can't hold a candle.

Now, what Headphile stand would complement the Omega IIs? Larry?

Here is a link off flea-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/IKEA-Stainless-S...QQcmdZViewItem

It works ok . . . pretty well actually. It just scores a complete zero in the style column.

I am considering buying a double fir/pine natural finish headphone stand from headphile. It is the cheapest one from headphile.

But I cannot tell which stand it is among the website pictures.

So someone can give me a photo of the model? I want to make it sure before my buying.

I couldn't find that particular wood pictured either. But, just email Larry at info@headphile.com and I bet you'll have a pic before the end of the evening!
