Headphone stand

Hi Chaps

I knocked this up yesterday from some pippy Alder and Stainless steel to stop my headphones falling down the back of the stand.
Its finished with Danish oil, the sun yesterday allowed me to get several coats in and dry.

Looks fantastic, great job!

Out of interest, how do you find the Magni?

It sounds very nice, I did recap it as I bought it with both switches on the back broken, I also have an early Rega ear and it’s very similar to that.

I'm in a dilemma with headphone amps and DACs at the moment.

I sold my Graham Slee and Sennheiser HD600's for a pair of closed back Beyer DT 700 Pro X and an Earmen Eagle dongle to enable me to listen in various places around the house. I love the Beyer's but am now craving a headphone amp and possibly a DAC.
Was tempted by a Lake People G13-S, but have gone off that idea, then a Mojo 2 and now possibly a small Schiit stack.

I know there's not to much to it but I like the way you say I knocked this up yesterday

It was a fairly involved process including plaining the pippy rippled alder with a specially setup hand plane to leave a smooth surface, piggling the bark off and wire brushing it out of the pips, angle grinding a strip of stainless steel and filing it parallel, drilling the screw holes and countersinking, then bending it to shape, shaping the headphone holding block with rasps, rebating the base and block, then danish oiling and assembling.

That stand is a lovely thing.
