The Stax mafia (the Don SR-Omega's are at a friends) so a humble Stax shot (with more incoming my way):

You've done it. You've committed the ultimate crime of words. I assumed it was a foregone conclusion that somebody would do this eventually, but I didn't know the day would be today. Not so soon!
 
You know you're deluding yourself when you've put the words "humble" and "Stax" in the same sentence.

Nice setup, bngbox! Those are expensive stands for not-so-expensive headphones

 Or are those knock-offs?

Haha I actually got them for the equivalent of about $14-$16 USD each here in China and I believe they're made of walnut wood. I like to think of wooden omega-style headphone stands as a generic items that everyone should make. And I'm not sure why people haven't other than the Sieveking ones! They definitely work well enough and are sturdy, well-built, and level/stable. They don't have that cool 'zebrano' or bamboo design but, I think they still look nice (especially for the price)

Is there somewhere I can get those on the internet? The ones that everyone else has are way out of my budget.

Yeah I know, they're super expensive in the States. You can get them on this site and they're all legitimate sellers. I just don't know if they send to the U.S. =/ And you would need to be able to read Chinese...lol. I would offer to bring some back for people but that would be like smuggling goods haha. So many nice kinds of stands for the equivalence of about $14-25 USD each. The conversion is 6.23 RMB to 1 USD, for your info.

Nope! I asked them to add an extra pair of heatsinks to help keep the components cool. The chips underneath the heatsinks get SERIOUSLY hot so it was worth it.

Ahhh, I see. I've been seriously considering the Project Horizon. I'm with you... I'm lazy and would rather order it fully assembled. :)
 
How do you like it?? What headphones are you using with it?
