G'day All,

Knocked this up over the long weekend (Lots of tourists visit my area so my house tends to go in to lock down - until things return to normal).

It's a bit rough but looks nice overall and more importantly, does the job it's supposed to do. Cost me about $25 (I already had the timber lying around).

I decided to make one after my Q701's rocked up and I discovered a decent timber stand was quite expensive!

Anyway, just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else has a tight budget and would rather save the dough for other components rather than a lump of stand

Cheers

As promised.

Sorry about the poor light, I'm not the photographer in the family.....my better half is much better but sadly does not share my passion for my new stand So unfortunately, your stuck with these.....

Danny awesome bro!!! You made this??
Very creative, I can't even imagine to make such stuff out of that timber.....how much time does it requires to made these headphone stand?

[goooobags]

Looks the goods mate. I can see that you like a bit of timber by the things in the background.

Whats powering the cans?

Thanks guys, as I said it's a bit rough but It does the job and I got impatient towards the end.

Ben, I reckon it took about 15 to 20 hours not including drying time for glue/finishes etc

GB, I'm just using my Roksan integrated.....Honestly at first I found the cans to be base heavy (contrary to popular opinion) but now they sound great! I suppose they have about 150 hours on them now. My speakers required a fairly long run in too but the result was the same.....Great end result (Orpheus Apollo's if your keen to know).
I considered a dedicated headphone amp before the sound cleaned up, plus I'm saving for an audiophillio you know how it goes.....Can't have everything.

And yep, I have been know to favour the timber look

Only 20hrs....thats great
