Which complete set of cables to try out?
OP,  really glad I could help. My reason for being here. Thank you.  
Your experience with these power cables?
I have a JPS power cord. I purchased it when evaluating a number of cords of their time. I chose it for my phono-stage because it took away the last bit of high frequency hash from the treble. I would recommend it for low current applications… a D...

Audio diffuser
Am I wrong in thinking those stands look short. Typically mini monitors are elevated to ear level when sitting. Are they? Perhaps you have experimented with different heights.    
Headphone for multi-use
One key question is what source electronics. I recommended Focal because they are easy to drive. If they are multipurpose I assumed you would have different inputs. Headphones like Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser (I have both and love them, are hard t...
