They look great! I think I like the look of the rounded felt over the end of the PVC cap on yours more than the flat "face" on mine. And yes, they do look to be about the same size.   I'm glad the instructions were of some help to you.

  Thanks! Duct tape is definitely stronger but, unfortunately, I didn't have any on hand. It sounds like you've created the $25 hose hook stand version 2.0!    Pics?

Yeah, the footprint of most desktop headphone stands is fairly large. I had to shuffle around the items on my desk to make mine fit.  

  Ha! It was definitely worth it though; Those ruler-hangers look great. 

Can't wait for "Chapter 2: 15 Years On the Marketing Front Lines"! 

Thanks guys. I was using rubberized hooks that were screwed into the side of my desk and although I'm sure they wouldn't damage the HD600, I was interested in an affordable tabletop stand. MrTechAgent, Those look awesome! Very clean.

  Maybe it is just a synergy thing, I can't comment on that. It does seem transparent in that the sound I'm hearing is exactly how it's meant to be heard, but the lack of power is off-putting.     Interesting. If I set the iTunes volume slider to 50%, I think I'd have to turn the Amp to 6...

  Thanks!     That's awesome. I think the Frequency Band test in the Golden Ears section was the most frustrating and longest for me.

  Interesting. That could be it. The MA Tubemagic D1 Plus is a friend's amp, which I listened to before my Magni arrived so I maybe I was just expecting more, given that the M/M combo and MA Tubemagic D1 Plus cost about the same.   Thanks for the explanation!

  My experience is with a Maverick Audio Tubemagic D1 Plus (twice the power at 300 ohms), CMoy pocket amp, and the Logitech Z-2300 headphone jack, so I don't really have anything that provides a similar amount of power to compare to the Magni.    Most of my audio is 24/96 FLAC or ALAC.

I thought I'd throw a guide up here for anyone interested in making a similar headphone stand. It's functional, cheap, and aesthetically pleasing...at least to my eyes.            Items Needed:   1.     1.) Rubbermaid Hose Hook - $15 2.     2.) PVC coupler and cap - $4 3    ...

My findings are that the Magni is not that loud. Maybe it's my source. I can turn the volume knob all the way up on some tracks and I adjust it to ~12 o'clock for the other, louder, tracks. My Logitech Z-2300's built-in headphone amp seems to be louder.   All computer volumes are at 100%...

Well...that was fun!  

  Rubbermaid Hose Hook, electric tape, PVC, nut/bolt, and some felt. Plus, about an hour of time.

  Thanks!   Just tested it today. It does surprisingly well, actually. The sound is slightly "veiled" compared to the Schiit stack. I'm not sure the upgrade to the Schiit stack was worth the money, given that the Z-2300 do so well with headphones.
