OOoh, I’m looking into a Pathos Inpol Ear at the moment - how do you find it? Is the Zebrawood finish real or is it an effect?

I would say it's real. I mean it's not made of wood, it's just a layer, but beautifully done.

Other than that I am very pleased with sound quality. Best I heard till now! But, if you happen to be a "Grado person" as I am (probably 1% of the population here), then you will find that it has some small noise. But only with the Grado. Everything else I tried was dead silent. (I haven't used IEM with it).

I ordered yesterday a full loom of shunyata power cables and what not plus I will change the stock tube, so let's see.

And it get's really hot! Not a problem for me, but it's a fact.

Oh, and don't forget it has no high impedance output should your can need it.

The headphone station inherited an sMS-200 and Audiolab 8200CD/DAC/pre when I upgraded my main system. The sMS plays FLAC files from my NAS, the Eitr streams from the net via the laptop. An iPurifier2 was a nice addition to the Eitr. Both sMS and Eitr are upgraded with linear power supplies, interconnects and USB cables are very good. I change between the HA-15/DT 1990 and Asgard 2/GH4, depending on the music. The Hafler connects to the DAC's balanced outputs, the Schiit via RCA.

I spend about four hours a day here, surfing the net and processing photos:

Added some nearfield Audioengine HD3 powered speakers and they sound especially nice with the Feliks Elise as pre-amp.:

Not really. But it is a sealed structure and it can be filled with sand/lead...actually they were filled with shot pellet, but it would be too heavy now for the current seismic springs+equipment I use.

If I had to guess, I'd opt for your rack with your current decouplers rather than extra mass from sand.
