The original product is worth 119 euros and is produced in germany. do distributor in the us costs $ 179 where is your manufacturing ?

I have purchased both this Chinese version (off of ebay) and ordered the actual Omega shipped from Germany directly. There is a huge difference in quality, but there's another review discussing how to remedy some of the quality of the Chinese version. Basically, the Chinese version does not sit level, typically has multiple blemishes (mine was a dent that nearly chipped the surface at the foot), is not protected in shipping, and does not have a very good finish. You also do not have any other wood choices. The bulk of the laminate appears to be some kind of ultra cheap wood or pre-laminated boards as well. The official German-made version sits perfectly level, has a great finish, uses laminated oak and walnut finished with what appears to be a type of zebra-wood. Corners are square, the curve fits the phones more naturally/less stretch, no blemishes, and sits proudly next to expensive equipment. They both do the job, and 20ft away don't look much different, so I use the cheap version at work. If your personality bought a $500+ pair of cans, buy the real German-made one, and you'll appreciate it. If you bought a <$100 pair of cans, stick with the Chinese version here, it does the same job and still looks decent at a distance.

Are there any audeze lcd-2 owners that can comment on the fit of this stand? saw a pic, looked like smashing ear pads.

To answer your question, the LCD-2 looks a little squished because it has angled pads that are oversized that make it look like there is more pressure than there really is. I would only be concerned about leaving it on the stand for long, long periods of time in high humidity, you might get some sticking behavior as reported by a person in the comments, but this hasn't happened to me yet

Does pure wood with walnut finish mean that it's a veneer?

Yes it is veneer and it is a pretty good stand. You can add your own finish to it.

Is it possible to sand then restain this?

There must have been a batch that wasn't finished well, either that or the people writing that are perfectionists, because the finish came pretty decent. For 25 bucks or so at the time I bought them, They look like they're worth a lot more. Of course you can sand and restain it, it's wood. If you are bothered by things like that... have at it
