I mined the thread for some info on the TH-900 detail. Just wanted to post what I found in case it helps anyone else:
...the TH900 is what I would consider to be reference-grade in its detail, accuracy, and faithfulness to source material. Fortunately such detail never feels overwhelming to me. The TH900 is voiced in such a way as to avoid an un-involving or cold sound which is often (and often erroneously) associated with 'analytic' headphones. That's not to say the TH900 is warm, but rather that it is natural and involving.

============
the TH-900 ... are resolving enough (compared to D7000) to be on the same level as T1

A few people have made similar comments about the HD-800s. The TH-900s (or TH-600s) are a fairly safe bet as far as headphones go. They work well out of most amps or devices (OTL tube amps excepted), they have an entertaining sound and a fair bit of detail. ... They don't have quite the finesse and resolution of the LCD-3s or top 'stats

After more break-in on the TH900 the mids and treble are definitely clearer and more refined, smooth as you put it than the D7000s and, YES, the bass is much more defined on the TH900. I'm loving these

the TH-900s are boom boom pow + a whole lot of details at the same time. It's part of their magic. Fun AND detailed AND technically proficient.

The mids are still slightly recessed but these are one of the most detailed dynamic cans I have ever heard.

The problem I see is you are mistaking detail with presentation (regarding your TH-900 vs PS1K comparison).

I'll re-read the reviews for each headphone to see what others say re the TH-900 detail. With me, that's really one key aspect
