Those are great looking stands!

Does anyone know if the Stax CPC-1 plastic cover is large enough enough to fit a Sieveking Sound Omega headphone stand? The stand is 4 3/4" deep but there are no measurements for the Stax cover. On the same vein, I was wondering if anyone has a preference on the Omega stand or Stax's own HPS-2 stand, for a SR-009.

 
The CPC-1 cover fits over the Sieveking perfectly.  Both the Sieveking Omega and HPS-2 are perfect for the SR-009, but the HPS-2 is cheaper.
 
Also, the thomann.de stands are really fantastic-looking.  Wish I'd known about them sooner.  The zebrano one looks especially good: http://www.thomann.de/gb/rooms_audio_typ_iii_z_headphone_stand.htm

i really like those too..................i have the omega stand and while it looks beautiful, i wish it were a little heavier on the bottom for stability.............it looks like the thomann stand may be a little more stable.
 
do you have a delivery date for your BHSE yet? i'm just blown away by the BHSE/009 combination, particularly the continuous soundstage and presentation of detail..............wheeeeeeeeeee

Best Rooms Audio stands are the FS stands - no compression on the pads and good angling on the headband without stretching.  Sieveking style stands (by extension the one made by rooms as well) compresses the pads and in some cases stretches out the band.

Still waiting.  

 
Hopefully by month's end.

I like Lepage marine epoxy in particular of the 2 part epoxies. It sets in about an hour but after mixed it is very very thin. I would not recommend any other of the Lapage 2 part epoxies besides this one though and  I never used it for your purpose but I bet you would have very good luck with it.

Radio_head has a very good point in that larger stands such as the Sieveking Sound Omega may stretch out the SR-009 band over time. OTOH, the Room's FS would be almost perfect, except that its design won't accommodate a cover such as the CPC-1, as per the images below. Ether way, I found them for sale at two German online retailers, Thomman and Madooma, but not in the US. In the end, it looks like the Stax HPS-2 is the best compromise for now.

It's too bad this isn't a commercial product, I just love the way it looks.

Thomann also ships to the US.

This.  People seem to spend a lot of money on damaging their headphones.

I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to scrape off the old glue with a razor blade, but if I don't have to worry about damaging the stator by scratching too deep into it or something like that (since I know they're coated with an insulation layer), it might be worth a shot to do it right.
 
If most kinds of polyurethane glue work out just fine, then I should be able to get by with a bottle of Gorilla Glue (available in most brick-and-mortar stores here in the US).
 
As for AC input, I didn't think of an amplified audio signal itself being a source of AC power, but it does make sense when I think about it.
 
In other Stax-related news, I just spotted an SR-Lambda Signature with SRD-7/Pro on eBay. I'd try my luck at bidding on it myself and giving the Lambda Sig a spin, but my bank account just won't allow for it, especially with these Steam sales going on! (Also, I really need to save my money for a proper Stax amp with both bias outputs, especially if I get that SR-303 functioning properly.)

 
Any glue that expands is wholly unsuitable as the layer needs to be as this as possible.  I have never tried any commercial glue that works for this so you have to think industrial, that's where the good stuff is.

I'll remember that the next time I attempt something like this. Better find a good US source for these non-expanding, industrial-grade polyurethane glues...
 
By the way, have you ever tried the SR-Lambda (Pro) Signature before? There aren't too many reviews of that variant, at least not to the degree of the later Lambda Nova Signature. What I do know, however, are your statements on how thinner diaphragms are not always better, and the Lambda Signature's diaphragms had the selling point of being only 1 micron thick...

At first glance, I thought that was some kind of weird-looking lamp and not a headphone stand!

No it's a stand, though it would be cool to put LEDs in the base under the glass, or under the top section.

I like the Sennheiser HH-10 holder
