Never heard of a Skako beanie.

After 10" of googling, I'm still not sure what it means, beyond the fact that it's some kind of headgear and might tie into a computer game (and you can buy them on Etsy).
It is from a Computer game. From Diablo 2 actually, which received a remake After 20 years with Diablo 2 Ressurected.

Shako is a headgear item one of the best unique items in the game.
The Font used on the beanie is the same used ingame.

My first real HP was the Grado RS2e that I bought at a local dealer and liked for quite a while. Then I got interested in other stuff, went to other dealers etc. one Day I had the opportunity at a different dealer to hear many different higher end HP (Empyrean, Verite etc) and I fell in love with the Diana V2. For one year I had the V2 with the Felix Euforia and I like it a lot.

Cambridge Audio Edge NQ - Felix Euforia - Abyss Diana V2

PS next to the Grado I also own the Meze 99 classics.

I’m jealous of that Euforia. Gorgeous.

On the opposite end of the clean spectrum, here's my station which in a rare moment has everything in one spot and cables running amuck 🤣 (mostly because I've been moving the schiit stack back and forth a couple of times this week). The HD600s are the latest addition and will probably be going to the work desk along with all of the other Schiit on Monday.
Tremendous! + @Ripper2860 nightmare: Valhalla front tubes are taller than back tubes 🤣

Dear Lord! Have we no standards. My OCD is preventing a like of anything where the front tubes are taller than the rear. 😒

Very nice ensemble. (Hang your Hifiman h/p by the outer metal band?…)
Thanks! An amp upgrade is definitely next on the list for me. (thanks for the tip! I edited the photo)

What do you seek via the h/p/a upgrade?

At the moment I am primarily considering having a KG CFA 3 built. I tend to prefer a wider soundstage, deep but controlled bass, balanced mids, and highs that give me information without hurting my ears with sharpness lol. I feel like the CFA 3 will give me that signature with the Susvara, and if I feel like I want more buttery mids I could add a tube preamp to the setup. If I don't end up with the CFA 3 though I may go with the Enleum 23r instead.
