( but perhaps not cheap...but value for money  )Just moved house (temp rented) last week and have been HiFi less for a week. To further compound the misery the area I have available is not big enough for a pair of freestanding speakers that need to be away from the wall. Have been looking at some cheap Stand mount speakers to use for a few months, but as usual it will probably take weeks for me to find the ones I want. I was unpacking more boxes yesterday and came across my Solo UL, an all too obvious plan was formed. I could create myself a 2 source headphone system that could keep me going until I sorted the speaker situation. Out came the Accession ( still burning in ) , the Streamer, 2 sets of Lautus, 1 Gyrodec and a Solo and a system was born. After re balancing the tone arm, letting Powergens' finest percolate through the system to warm it up on went Portishead Live at NYC and end of misery.
