100+ Head-Fier
UPDATE: I received the following email from Oppo where they very graciously made the stand available even given the relatively low interest expressed (at least in this poll), thanks Oppo! Note that they already had the Ha-1 stands manufactured and have received a limited quantity reserved for those who have already expressed interested (not certain if that interest is via email, phone call, forum post, etc., your best bet is to call Oppo and see assuming that you have expressed interest in some fashion already). I have no idea how many were produced and for who, nor is it my business so I didn't ask, just wanted to make it clear that these aren't generally available. I believe that those who are on the list will receive an email (as I did below) to place the order.
If you have not previously contacted Oppo for an HA-1 stand but would like one, I think the best bet is to email them to ask for one, and perhaps 1) folks who previously expressed interest may not all purchase one so others "in line" may get one of the unclaimed ones in this batch and 2) a second run may happen if enough additional interest is expressed. This is all purely conjecture and advice from some dude on the internet BTW, I have no connection with Oppo other than owning Oppo gear, and I in no way, shape or form speak for them or know anything more than any other customer that write an email and ask questions .
The one reserved for me is NOT going to be on the "leftovers" list though, it is on the way via FedEX today, sweeeeet...
Oppo has displayed the HA-1 amp on the stand pictured below, but unlike the stand for their PM-1's, the HA-1 stand is not yet planned for production. According to the email I received from Oppo a few minutes ago (quoted below), if there is enough demand they would consider production at a *probable* $150 price point. As such, I figured I would try a poll to see if there is demand, because I really want one . For those looking at this for a different amp, the dimensions of the HA-1 are '10.0" x 4.8" x 12.2" (254 x 80 x 333 mm)', so you can probably picture the size of the stand using the below picture showing the HA-1 on the stand to see if your amp would look good on it.

We are currently investigating the cost of manufacturing such a stand, as as it stands it will be $150.00 to sell it to our customers. Depending on the actual cost and demand, we may go into actual manufacturing in the future.
