January 24, 200818 yr Mine are currently on my desk but I may pick up an AT-HPS500 once I've got my amp here and settled in
January 24, 200818 yr Nothing but Stax stands for me. They do get a bit expensive when you need a lot of them... You don't find it compresses the bottom of the Omega 2 pads? Here is the stand I use:
January 24, 200818 yr You don't find it compresses the bottom of the Omega 2 pads? It does but the angle of the earpieces on my set makes it less of an issue. I also change them out at least once every two years or when the foam has gone soft.
January 24, 200818 yr http://www.geocities.jp/mister_terch/zakki01stand.htmlThat page brings up an issue that has been bothering me -- I may just have to get the AT stand. When I hang my headphones freely (including the Leatherheads, and others that have rather nice pads), they touch towards the bottom. The AT stand appears to solve this for most headphones, but as the pictures show, does not for the Leatherheads. Anyone have any recommendations?
January 24, 200818 yr A wider more generous wooden top peice on the AT-HPS500 could more fully support the headband and prevent the sag that allows the bottom of the L3000 earpads to touch. If you were able to manage this it might be a solution.
January 24, 200818 yr yay! Seems like I found a good find Yes, you did. Good boy. (gives Nenso a Smartie)
January 24, 200818 yr Author I just used a headphile stand for the L3k... Hey may I see a picture please? I'm very curious about AT + Headphone pipestands lol
January 25, 200818 yr Just had to be careful taking it off to not scratch the top of the pads, which never seemed to happen anyway. [me=hungrych]misses his L3k[/me]
January 25, 200818 yr Author thanks a lot man.. looks really pretty. you're not supposed to sell limited edition things you know..
January 30, 200818 yr I use a banana hanger and Headphile stand from back when it was actually affordable. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't sold the Headphile Triple stand I used to have. Time to go make some stands soon, methinks.
January 31, 200818 yr Author yea smeggy, i agree.. but I went with the much cheaper Woo Audio ones.. ill grab the AT ones another time probably.. maybe I'll get a Japanese friend to buy and ship me if it makes a difference.. seems like many people are charging like $35 for shipping
February 1, 200818 yr I love my swt stand (which I just realized I've never posted a picture of) but I'm not sure he really builds them for sale. Thanks Nate. Yes I do build them to sell. Everyone is custom though, as I hate building the same thing over and over. I have many pics of stands I've built for people that I could send to anyone who might be interested. Also S^2 Audio (warrior05 and I) has a less expensive stock stand that Scott builds, and they're quite nice on a budget. I use wall hanging stands for my own headphones.
February 1, 200818 yr Thanks Nate. Yes I do build them to sell. Everyone is custom though, as I hate building the same thing over and over. One of these days when I get my poop together I'll be contacting you about another stand.
February 1, 200818 yr Nice. At first glance, it looked like a coathanger-sized headphone rack. Which is what I'm going to end up needing. Does anyone have any ideas on the problem of pads touching at the bottom, or being flattened against the headphone stand? I was thinking a little brace that may angle in, so that the farther back you push the headphones on it's "rung", they are pushed apart slightly more. That way, one can push them back just to the point where they're not touching, but no more. Has anyone tried anything like this?
February 1, 200818 yr Hmmm, I've had mine hung on these racks for quite some time now, and I just don't think there's enough force where the pads touch at the bottom to flatten them. So for me at least it's a non issue.

Wow those are really nice stands. Maybe I'll contact you in the future if I need something like that. Really nice how the hangers have a little curve so the headbands won't get damaged. Just wondering.. do u accept customer wood?
