OZ Audio HM-6. About $269 brand new. I had the Buttringher too and that's why I now have the OZ Audio.

Same here, the Oz Audio.

Plenty of power, Ilke it.

Rane HC-6. Works awesome, and you can get em cheap off of ebay.

Furman HDS-6 with five HR-6's

Personal mixes for everyone via CAT-5!!!

I also have the Furman system. It's a great system in that each artist gets his/her own mixer.

Two things that are a negative about the system are:

1.The mixers are supposed to attach to the mounting bracket via heavy-duty velcro. They won't stay on very long. Everytime someone pulls on the headphones a bit, off pops the mixer, crashing to the floor.

2. You need to run 2 cat-5 cables to every mixer (except the last one in the chain),. That's a whole lot of cabling on the floor.

If you can work-around these two problems, the Furman system is a good choice.

Im sorry, but what are cat-5 cables? The only thing I like about the Behringer is that it has L/R mutes which is helpful because some people I record like to have only one side of the headphones on. But that's about all I like about it :) . I need a minimum of four channels, and quality is the most important thing i'm looking for.

I just looked at the Furman setup on sweetwater and it looks pretty cool. Rack the HDS-6 and then buy three HR-6's...are the HR-6's powered by the HDS-6, or do they have their own adapters?

Headphone Amp

A guy on Gearslutz.com has a Rane Headphone Amp for sale for $100. Good Deal.

I have the B unit ... a couple of them and I also have Kev built stuff for my main studio.

If in doubt then get a very cheap unit just to get you going and then do the research and have a good look around for what it is you want and need.

Individual ... " Personal mixes for everyone via CAT-5 "
may sound cool but it can be a source of trouble and if you are on your own with no assistant it might not be worth the trouble.

Also if you spend most of time doing overdubs with only one musician then a large system may not be the best use of resources.

I have a 40 watt amp I use with passive distribution for the drums and bas track laying sessions.
just more grunt and headroom ... there is no substitute.

Headphone monitoring can be as complex as you want it to be.

Yes, th Furman system is not ideal for a one-man studio, but I didn't gather the he may be insinuating that.

BTW, CAT-5 is ethernet cable. With the proper wall jacks, you can run most of the cabling without a mess.

I use the Aviom headphone system. Gotta say I love it - so do the bands that record "hear".
