    Hey guys! Selling my LFF Paradox I got a few days ago. While this is an amazing headphone (probably one of the best closed backs ever,) I require something a bit more relaxed for work. These are incredibly linear and neutral. They're as good as ZMF's headphones and leagues ahead of MrSpeakers T50 mods.

    Anyway, I'll pay for shipping throughout the CONUS. If you're out of the CONUS, I'll have to charge you for shipping. Asking price is $315, which is firm.

    Here's some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/bZ1OY

    Edit: Well, it was sold guys!

    This is truly a great headphone which has been underestimated and remained the under the radar for too long. Too bad Luis is too busy these days to crank out a lot of them. @OJneg stole my Paradox and won't give them back.

    As the previous owner, I can attest to how good these are.

    Well, to be fair, it is #001. I personally think its his guilty pleasure. With as much as he dislikes most planars, those happen to be his daily driver. Haha

    There is a lot of that going around... my kid stole my Paradox not long after I got them. I can't get him to give them back.

    They just don't do much of anything wrong, and they're super comfortable to boot!

    I sent this wonderful headphone on a Head-Fi tour a couple of years ago.. I love it. Hands down one of the best planars out there, regardless of price, IMO.

    How do these compare to the Paradox Slants?

    Less midbass, smaller staging.

    Fwiw, I prefer the OG Paradox over the Slants.

    A bit more towards neutral/flat. Luis was tuning these more towards a studio monitor sound. The Slants are a bit more on the fun side.

    It would be nice to have one of these reviewed, measured and possibly loaned around here for posterity.

    Oj does own one, but getting it away from him would be hard. There's measurements of it on Changstar.

    Changstar is going offline sooner or later, and those measurements are not comparable with the latest ones AFAIK. This is a place where everybody recommends the Paradox yet there's not enough up-to-date info and measurements.

    The Slant is another beast.

    I wanted to do a neutral headphone trio video review (HD600, Paradox, ESP650) but I've been busy. You can read a lot about the Paradox on Changstar though, no need for me to espouse a 1000 word review.

    Really wish Luis would make more of these. In my alternative universe, Luis became as successful as MrSpeakers and was able to grow his business so that more people could own these.

    The measurement thread displaying the Paradox along with a few other headphones should be compatable with the most recent stuff on SBAF

    I see. Well, they do deserve the whole treatment (ARTA graphs, distortion figures, brief impressions), that may even help boost the business.

    I'd be down to send the Slants on a mini tour if some people were interested to measure, comment, etc.
