What do you guys do for headphone stands with the R10? I don’t want to stress the headband elasticity over time.
Must use wood stands, metal stands like woo no good.
I use these: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/967767068/african-mahogany-brass-headphone-stand?ref=share_v4_lx
Or https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/958205788/wooden-desk-headphone-stand-gaming?ref=share_v4_lx

Or something similar like mine. Type Wooden Headphone Stand in etsy. They got amazing stuff.

Why not metal stands, like the Woo Audio one, if it’s hanging from the top headband?
Chip and dent damage. You know, we are all clumsily here and there right.

Wood headphones will dent, scratch and chip away if you bang them against the metal stands like woo audio stands. I use to have Woo Audio stand. It chipped away my HD800 paint.
Afterwards I literally painted them. :beerchug:
Fun times....

My 2 painted HD800s. Sadly sold them fast. Loved the green version.
Who ever has my green version please I like to buy it back from you. It was the original first 1000 batch.

I know you guys are killing me while I have to wait for another month to join the party. Just got my DNA amp back from Donald with new 300b tubes… CFA3 amp ready too.

I have a CFA 3 Hybrid (with tube pre-amp) on order. From what I understand it still sounds solid state- not tuby or warm at all, just more 3-D and holographic. I dont know if it will be a match for the R10.

Did you check sensitivity? The hybrid would mate sonically nicely, I am skeptical it will mate technically though.

Make sure you have a good volume control on the CFA3 though given that the ES R10 is very efficient so you likely won’t need much knob turning to get loud. Most volume pots have slight channel imbalanced at low ranges.

I have instructed Miroslav to set three impedances on the Hybrid. The highest should match the TC. The lowest should match the ES-R10. The middle- somewhere in the middle. I assume if the low impedance matches the R10 then I should have room to move the volume. Please advise me if there are other adapting's that would help.
