Paradox reviews are so mixed, I'd also like to see that on here
Borat, haha... John's a great guy!
So, I've begun working on the new review. It will be added hopefully early February.
I am also probably going to be adding the LCD-2 rev. 2 into the mix at some point soon. It's been talked about so much.

I'd really like to see the Q701 added to this. In the time I've had to hear them both, I prefer both the HD600 and HE-400 over the K701/2, but not over the Q701.
If any AKG should be added, it should be the 65th Anniversary K702. Noticeably better than the Q701. No need to go with a lower model.
Hi. Do you mean "noticeably different" or "noticeably better"? I haven't compared these side by side but I have compared k702 Anniversary to a new k701 and there was no difference in SQ through a Schiit amp and a Cambridge 851 CD player as a source. OK, there was a little more weight in the Anniversary version (with all the benefits and costs) and perhaps (but only slightly) little more refinement in k702 but the sound signature is the same and there is nothing in the SQ that can justify the $200 price difference. But of course, maybe k701 is too modestly priced today. I don't want to step on your toes or anything, just asking an honest question.
I'm willing to bet that the reason why some people aren't noticing much of a difference is their choice of music. Because it'd be damn near impossible to not be able to tell which is which, IMHO.
Movies especially. The Annie is very enjoyable for movies, whereas the Q701 didn't come close, and the old K701 was even worse
