    f**k, I don't really want to sell these, but I think I have to. I have a set of Paradox Slants, painted black with silver rods, suspension strap and alpha pads that I ought to sell. These include the black and white bag that Luis sends them in that are lined with some kinda soft velvety shit inside.

    Choice of cable. For no extra cost, a 1/8" terminated cable, or for extra $$, the addition of a pretty siiqqq Norne Draug v2 in black with 4pin XLR termination. It's ~10-12 feet long, i forget.

    Please excuse the language ... 1) i'm sleepy and 2) i don't really wanna sell them, but -- 1) i don't need a closed back headphone since i don't share an office with anyone and 2) i might "make do" with modded hd650s at the office.

    Let me know if you're interested, etc etc. I can upload pictures soon!

    Price for the Paradox Slants: $650
    Price for the Norne Draug2: $250

    Haha yeah these were great off the carbon. But honestly they're also great on my GOv2 balanced at work. These are without a doubt my favorite ortho and tied for favorite overall. Just don't need closed back, and could use the cash for the vinyl nut job forays.

    Thanks for the heads up Jeff (brencho was also kind enough to PM before this went up as I had a want ad for some Slants up for a while).. I'm holding off on closed cans atm hoping I can score some nearfield monitors for the office (more baby friendly).

    If people around here know what's up.. the Slants should be sold before the end of the night.. legendary cans, guys.. scales damn well too!

    @CEE TEE brought a pair to the South Bay mini meet, right? Incredibly neutral 'phones. I think my head is too big for them, though... GLWS!

    Head being too big makes me think you're referring to the enigmas, which have a super strong clamp force. I have a huge head and these do not clamp hard at all.

    I brought my pair of Slants to the meet. Enigmas tend to clamp a little hard if you don't bend the headband.

    Luis's suspension band makes the Paradox/Slants among the most comfortable headphone's I've worn.

    OK, it was the Enigmas I wore at the meet then. Somehow, i missed out on the @No_One411 Slants.

    Tempted to take your Slants... but... must resist.
