OMG, Epic write up. Thanks man I really appreciate it. I actually do plan on using the Paradox outside as well (Most likely starbucks or some other place I can sit down. I won't be jogging or going to the gym with them.)
I'll also be using them at home of course as well. Yeah that upper-mid recess on the LCD-2s really got annoying after a while, wish they would just correct that. I think it's pretty cool you actually prefer the Paradox to the TH-900 and LCD-2.
One last question I had for you was, do you notice any harshness with the treble? I only ask this because the Mad Dogs I tried were very dark overall (recessed-upper mid issue) but also had weird peaky treble at times. I would descrbe it as harsh at times, while my HE-500 is much brighter overall (and closer to neutral) yet still has smooth treble without any sibilance.
I read on another site that Fostex drivers are inherently unstable after 2k? not sure if this is correct, but wanted to get your opinion on this.
The Mad Dog also did not have enough air and sounded muffled/closed in at times. Does the Paradox feel like this as well?
Sorry about all these MD comparisons. I do realize the two headphones have nothing to do with each other and sound completely different, but I'm just worried that it might be an inherent driver issue that can't be corrected through dampening and other tinkering.
