I am now on my third piece of furniture for my headphone system. Last try was a TV stand as I thought that the length, along with my shelving would accommodate everything I own. And I was correct. However, what I didn't count on was that having a 41" table injects some ergonomic problems next to my lazy boy. You can't access the full length of the table while remaining seated. I thought about building a custom stand but was quickly dissuaded by two factors: I have no talent for building things and I am too poor to buy something really nice.

After browsing Amazon dozens of times, I settled on a cheapie solution with the right dimensions. The stand is nothing beautiful or high quality, but excels at functionality. Everything is easily within reach from my chair beside it.
Top is perfect height (24") for my laptop/mouse and the amps are easily reachable.
I had the same problem, as I keep buying more gear (tape decks, sacd spinner, turn table, et al. ) I finally just bought a table from IKEA to hold it all. Your solution looks nice; mine looks like a customer service work bench.

When your setup requires racks, it's time to book yourself into rehab.

Kids are the only time I prefer current production over NOS.
I will trade your current production (as in fresh) steaks for my NOS steaks that have been... aging in the freezer :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

At least you can say that your NOS (filament mignon 🤦🏻👎) has been cryogenically treated 🥶😂🤣🤣.

When your setup doesn't require racks, you're doing something wrong. :laughing:

Definitely my most versatile combo as desktop (with a proper DC input) and "on the way" system .. I just get an incredibly airy headphone for a closed headphone and, of course, really deep and clear ultra low frequencies for a closed headphone !!!
I love this combo.

Alright Bill, what took you so long to share your system? That turntable looks serious. What is it? And I can't believe you're a vinyl guy.
That's my 2-channel setup, not my HP rig and I didn't want to derail this thread (like I do most others 😀). And as much grief as I've given you over your turntable setup, you didn't think I was a vinyl guy? 🤣🤣

It's a Nottingham Ace-Space with the Ace-Space arm, a later/improved version of the original Spacedeck.

Oh well for some of us, a turntable is right at home with our head-fi setup. I had mine next to Yggdrasil and Ragnarok.
