you can order these brand new from europe if you dont want to wait for a used one to show up
Which site. So far I have talked to Thomann where I purchased my current stands they don’t have any. I also Reached out to Stephan from Headphone Auditions and they are also out. Do you know someplace else I can contact to purchase new at this time.

Do you know if more will be made in the future? Or is it permanently discontinued?

When I contacted Stefan. This was his reply. So I’m hopeful. Would be nice if more people contact him.

Hi Tim,

Yes I would love to be able to say yes, currently my guy is a bit overwhelmed with regular orders and has no time to make any.

But I will keep bugging him, and I will put you on the waiting list, okay?


Met vriendelijke groet,

Thanks for the link. Might as well ask you your Abyss earcup rotational position? I've been too busy with my various speaker setups but time to get back to Abyss..

My pad seams are usually at 10 and 2 o'clock, but occasionally shift to 9 and 3 o'clock when I want even more bass.

Those seeking the 1266 Rooms stand...Stefan at HAA just emailed me to say Rooms are supplying him with 5 in a few weeks.

If you want one then I'd message him quickly. I emailed him about this forever ago. Fantastic he remembered that I'd asked.

I just posted to your WTB the same info - glad to see they're still being built, even if I don't need one.

The stand is really worth it. The best 1266 TC stand you can buy. I bought from him during the first run. It's a perfect stand for the TCs. Abyss used to sell them, but I dunno what happened. Abyss' new stand is sturdy, but it still holds the TCs by the headband and not the metal outer part. I'm not really sure why Abyss decided to release the stand like that. It is completely dismissing users' complaints about the headband.

It's bizarre we're all telling a company if you make this thing we will buy it. Instead they made an overpriced alternative that doesn't do the same job.

It's like, we tried guys.

The current AB1266 headband allows for easy replacement of the o'rings so hanging an AB1266 on a stand is no longer an issue.
Actually the new headband length was set so that the rings would stretch a bit into proper fitment (although a number of users purchase a o'ring kit and tweak).

As for the stands, spotty availability and worldwide shipping costs nixed it, so we made our own.
