  Will those owners who have Mad Dog upgraded to Alpha Dog also receive the stands?

 
Yes.  The upgrade is 100% upgrade.

Still a few days to go and therefore a few more surprises! I'm wondering what the decals will be like. Maybe an alpha symbol instead of text?

 

[mrspeakers]

No decals.  All the branding is on the risers.  We're going subtle on this one.

  Here's the "photo of the day" de jour...  (I actually saw a sign saying "Soup De Jour of the Day" once).
 
This is the headphone stand that is in the box with the Alpha Dog.  Surprise!  
 

 
 
It's black powder coated steel.  It's a little short, perfectionists will note that the phones rest a bit on the cable, but this was due to the limit of shipping in a USPS flat rate box, which cuts a lot off the shipping.  Anyone bothered by that can simply make a 1" foam or other material block to rest on the top of the stand.

Thereby creating a cottage industry for the cottage industry - selling specially designed foam pieces that attach to the top of the stand. 

 
 
And I like the holes that let you screw down the stand to a wooden audio furniture item.

Subtle is Classy
 
Tnx Dan-your the best.

Are the black riser arms newly fabricated Dan?

No, we refinish the Fostex arms.

By the way, the headphone stand is a subtle "joke" of sorts - I will leave that to someone else to post...

 

[TMRaven]

Oh, ok!  So the original arms are aluminum after all.

 

[Kamakahah]

A headphone stand...ahhhh....sweet vindication.

 

[gelocks]

Dan... you are kicking my ass with all these new goodies!!!!

 

[deafanddumb]

No Decals except on the risers......hmm, I wonder if this includes the fostex logo on the headband, not making it to the final version?

 

[grizzlybeast]

the fact that I bought headphone stands will make the AD look like its in a class of its own while sitting on its own hp stand.
 
Knowing my indecisiveness I have to battle not getting an akg k712 pro first. Though I will always have the MD here to upgrade.

So what did you get?
