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.
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
do you have a delivery date for your BHSE yet?
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.
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.

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 thin 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.
It's too bad this isn't a commercial product, I just love the way it looks.
At first glance, I thought that was some kind of weird-looking lamp and not a headphone stand!
