Built a quick cheap headphone stand out of a redwood board and dowel so most of my headphones are easy to find.

That white speaker partially visible on the 2nd shelf reminds me of an Advent Radio, but it's been years since I've seen one.

A new addition into the system w/ the Violectric DAC V850. I also added some NOS tubes into the the Icon Audio HP8 MK II. The 6SN7's are NOS Sylvania GTAs 'Chrome Dome' from the late 1940's. The NOS ECC83/12AX7 is a Mazda-France w/silver anode tube from 1963.

Prior, I had been using Sophia Electric tubes exclusively. I was happy with the sound but found it to be too lean. After doing some homework and asking advice from fellow audiophiles I was talked into these NOS tubes. In a nutshell, I didnt know what I was missing. Sound is better in every area! More low end slam. More mid range weight and lovely vocals. Speed is better and there is more gain on the amp. Stage is wider and deeper. Just sort of boggles the mind really. So, you can count me as a NOS tube convert.
