It is complete!



Nice pic as usual. How come you're not using the upper headband to hang your X1? Wouldn't that keep constant strain on the springs? Btw, is that stand only available in the UK? I think I saw it once while searching online, but can't remember where I saw it.

I looked for UK stock but there isn't any, Germany is the source and it's sold by www.thomann.de - Shipping took a few days and there was no import tax for me to the UK either.
 
If I use the upper headband the cable jack tension section bends and touches the base, plus the elasticated headband doesn't go full back when stored this way too as it hits the bracket bits. As it is it doesn't put much stress on the band elastic at all. At best the band extends around 1cm which is way less than what I have extended when the headphone is on my head :p At least this way over time the band will slack and be less tight!

I really like the look of that Rooms audio headphone stand.  Wish they shipped to the US.

Nice, clean setup!
How's the NAD D3020 as a headphone amp?  I was looking at it last night just to run some desktop speakers.  I haven't found any powered speakers that I like so was thinking about going the D3020 route + Paradigm MilleniaOne or Martin Logan Motion 4..
