Was it hard to put together?

Looks great -- and just $10.99 @ jungle web site.

Bob.......I see no reason to spend $60 to $100 for a headphone stand. I unscrewed the brass hook from the banana stand and bingo, a headphone stand appeared.

My Headphones:

Fostex TH900
Sennheiser HD600 upgraded with HD650 drivers and cord

My amp:

McIntosh C40

My Sources:

Sony HAP-Z1ES
Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition
Denon DP-300F with DL-110 cartridge

Protection:

Monster Power HTS1000

Headphone holders:

Sennheiser HH 10
Fostex ST300

I plan to make various future upgrades after attending more audio shows. I will be getting either a Bryston BIT15 or PS Audio P10 for protection. I would like to get a dedicated headphone amp. I have narrowed it down to either the Audeze King, Pass Labs HPA-1, Bryston BHA-1, or Woo Audio WA5-LE. My turntable choices have been narrowed down to the Brinkmann LaGrange, Avid Acutus SP, or TW Acustic. My next cartridge will most likely be the Grado Statement2. Phono stages have been narrowed down to the Thoress Enhancer, Audio Research REF Phono 3, or Aesthetix Rhea Signature. I also plan to add a pair of Audeze LCD4s to my collection.
