I thought about a similar set-up when I bought my cabinet. I would love to be able to see all the headphones, all the time, but my apartment is super dusty. Very little carpet and we are on the 6th floor, but I do have the windows open whenever possible. I would have to clean off the headphones regularly and I am just too damn lazy.

Your set up looks great though!

I see you have Forza cables. I use Forza Audioworks Claire Hybrid HPC for Verite and Noir Nybrid HPC for HD800.

Newest entry, the Simaudio Moon 600i integrated amp, which I am using to drive the Abyss via XLR > speaker taps adapter.

huh, I have that same rack...I just don't have such nice goodies to fill it with

Let's say it is a desktop close up.
Soon will be an update with my new silver cables arriving in a few days.

Really nice stand!

It's a Norstone Stabbil Hifi Bamboo made in France. It's fairly expensive for what it is and the quality control could stand some improvement. Mine came with several chips in the veneer. Also, while most of the supports have rubber inserts for isolation, oddly the bottom pieces have no rubber and are flat. Just kinda odd. I like the look of mine but I think from now on I'm going to go with metal equipment racks. I just never have enough space for my gear and it can be really hard to get access to the back of your equipment if you want to rearrange cabling.

Yeah, it doesn't look cheap. It is really hard to find the right mix of form and function when you live in an apartment. I bought what I thought was a nice looking, functional cabinet. Within weeks I realized that wasn't going to work and then I started hunting for shelving units to put on top. Got that all set up and working well, but I can't help but think that it could use something else. Like the gear itself, the hunt never seems to end.

Thanks! Funny you mention dust, as I keep them all covered, with towels, when I am not home. When I get home, the towels come off, and the fun begins.

Great minds think alike! As it is, I have to wipe off the gear, cabinet, glass shelves weekly. Or at least I should.

Yes sir! I love Forza cables. They are super supple, lay straight, are lightweight, have zero microphones, and sound killer. They are reasonably priced as well, so what's not to love.

I believe!
You are doing it right brother .

Nothing I like more than kicking back in the evening after a days work, with a cocktail and some nice music.
My back thanks me for it if I listen for long periods of time.
I am at that age where comfort matters

Just don't sit on the Ori, whatever you do!!

What is the watch?
