Having now got the Grado headphones, and got them nicely broken in, I
find the lead needs to be a tad longer to suit the position of my living

Just think yourself lucky that you do not need an extension lead for
Stax headphones. This costs over eighty pounds! I am at a complete
loss as to how such a price can be justified.

Like £1000 per meter for interconnect?

At least you have a choice with this. The Stax connectors are not
readily available and there is probably no other option but to buy
their cable. :-(

THere are two cords involved in a Stax headphone - the actual phone
cord and the RCA phono cord. If you extend the phone cord, a) it is
expensive, b) you increase the capacitive loading and compromise top
end and c) you can't reach the volume control any more.

Extend the RCA cord and you fix all of the above.
