Now that's the second headphone stand I've seen in this thread with those speaker stand-off feet.
I must ask, why?
 
I can't think of any gain to having your headphone stand be vibrationally semi-decoupled from the thing it sits on...
Is there another reason?

Ha!  That must prove I am a function over form kind of guy.
The looks thing never occurred to me.
 
I use those same speaker standoffs on my bookshelf speakers, and I know just what a pain in the butt they are to use.  A much smaller / lighter headphone stand probably isn't as hard to use them with though.

Hey Guys,
 
This is my first post on this forum. I've been checking this thread out for a couple of days and I loved all the designs that everyone has. I especially loved the Sieveking Sound Omega stand and the fact that someone made one of cardboard. But considering I just bought a new turntable that my wife and the neighbor prefer I listen to with headphones, I thought I'd make my own version using LPs (Vinyl that I had, but didn't really listen to) Don't hate me Chicago fans :wink: Let me know what you think!

My wife's blow dryer, candle holder and, believe it or not, a empty toilet paper roll for the bottom molds. :wink:
