Latest addition is the Niagara power conditioner, replacing my previous IsoTek Aquarius ... first impressions are promising :beerchug:

They look cool for real :L3000:

At risk of being a party-pooper, they can be bad for the headbands though. They stretch them out. It’s best to get some stands that are tall enough for the cables and let the earcups rest naturally. I’m also working on the theory that laying the headphones down on a shelf, or soft cushion/pad, is probably best for the headphones in the long term. But it’s not convenient and it looks bad. Beauty over function :deadhorse:
I have a nice duckbill headphone stand, tall enough for any can, and cheap on Amazon:

A point about this kind of headphone stand:
  • For headphones that have inner/soft headbands secured under an outer/hard headband, it can stretch the soft underband if using a single point HP stand & putting both headbands atop the stand.
  • When I use a HP stand for headphones like that (ie, Fidelio X2s; any ZMF dynamic), I put the inner headband under the stand and rest the HP on the stand by its hard outer headband only.

That's why I always use and like Room Audioline stands the most. :thumbsup:

No complains about the pressure a certain weight will cause.

Agreed. Hanging by the suspension strap is bad, mmkay...

Does everyone remember the childhood (maybe adult?) taunt “hey, four-eyes!”? Well…
