I own the TH900 and I like them a lot except for the fact the mids are recessed.
Is there any kind of configuration that can bring the mids forward?

I don't know these phones but have a look at my thread on damping Stax phones,  Sorbothane properly used can bring out a lot of clarity. So far I have only tried it with one dynamic phone and this showed the same effects as I noted with the stats,

I had the same problem. I loved everything about the TH900 other than the mids were extremely recessed. I switched to a pair of TH600's and greatly preferred those.

Has anyone tried the Lawton Audio Tune up for just damping and new ear pads. At $150 wondering if it's worth it?

dunno why you felt that you had to start a new thread for this but anyways. the th900 reportedly responds well to a little eq.

describing the th900's mids as extremely recessed is an exaggeration imo.

I have performed the pad mods so far and they undeniably bring the mids forward. My pads are wee thin now so the mids are a little more forward than I prefer (more than my HE-560), so I will probably tweak the thickness of the carbon foam to bring it back just slightly more.
 
I highly recommend trying this--the magnitude of the change induced by this mod is greater than that I've heard from rolling any DACs and Amps.

Apparently you might want to consider the Massdrop THX00!
