Here is an Amazon link to see what they are called but you can get them in the rubbermaid Isle at Lowes for $10

Thanks to your contribution, WarriorAnt, I'm going to buy one of each: The Senn & The Rubbermaid. For me this would be ideal because surface real estate inside the listening room is as costly and crowded as H.K.! But getting one of each works!

Right, 9 o'clock (not 3 o'clock). I wonder what the difference is? The voltage from the source you think? At 11 o'clock I would have permanent ear damage (it also sounds bad too)... Does your source have a separate volume control? I think the BDP-95 is something like 4.6 volts via XLR.
 

With the same tubes (7236/5998) I can't get above 5 clicks without things being *very* loud. 3-4 is "normal" for most of the recording I enounter.

I am expecting that Jack will unveil their new additions to the Woo brand in the event.

Here's my wall hanger, it holds the HE-6 and K1000 together comfortably:

Hope to see you there, Mike!

At an everything type of store called Fred Meyer. I don't know if you have them is Arizona but it's kind of in between a Walmart and a Target but with better groceries than either one.

Before I remodeled the listening room, my lovely hand-carved Nigerian Princess (from Nigeria) served me well. Now she's located on the opposite side of the room. Now, I'm in scramble mode for a solution. It must be elegant, however...

OMG!
 
That is so beautiful.  Why am I not surprised that your cans would not rest on something so pedestrian as to be bought from Amazon or double as a rubber baby buggy.  Nice, really nice.

Thanks for the compliment. I've had her for years, given to me by my college roommate. He brought her back from his village during the holiday semester break. As soon as I removed the D5000's out of the box... I knew! The D7000's look even better on her but I didn't get a shot - good music has a way of holding our attention.

(LUMAZ, if you have WE421a power tubes with a pure balanced source into the WA22 balanced input, I would say something is wrong in the fact that you have your volume set to 11 o'clock. Loud should be around 5 clicks from the bottom (3 o'clock). Comfortable should be 4 clicks (give or take 1, depending on the sensitivity of your ears). If I put my volume to 11 o'clock (9 clicks), I have to take the headphones off - it would damage my ears.  At 4 clicks, I could easily listen for a full 8 hours without any problems at all (the sound is kind of loud, should probably only be at 3 clicks).
 
Maybe I am explaining myself bad in English: for me 11 o' clock is 2 or 3 clicks below the centre (it ought to be 12) of the volume knob. It is loud but, especially for rock, it is my favourite volume. Also it depends on how a CD is mastered: sometimes it is too loud, sometimes it is a bit too soft for me. Nevertheless if I am listening with umbalanced source I must put my volume higher (2 clicks).
When I listen with my Vincent KHV 1 hybrid (half tube and half ss) preampli, I put the same volume (11 o'clock) or a click up.
A year ago, when I bought my Senn HD-800 I had a little ss headphone ampli and with that I put the volume only 2 or 3 clicks because the sound was too higher.
So probably it depends on various reasons. Maybe my WE 421 are always too new and are not yet at their full force.

Different sources have different output voltages, usually from 1 volt to 2.5 and even up to 5 volts, that would explain a few things. Are you using the 7236 or 5998 power tubes yet? Then the WA22 will get louder as well.

Just to confirm, on my WA22 minimum volume is @ 6 0'clock.
 
Yes, I do think source voltage is one a possible difference. My owners manual has the following:
• Connectors: XLR gold-plated
• Level: 3Vrms (8.5Vpp)
• Impedance: 100 Ohms
 
My source has a digital volume control which I always keep locked down @ 100%.
 
FWIW, Jack told me via email that it is ok or normal to use the WA22 volume control past midpoint or 12 o'clock and beyond.
