I got to hear a development version of it at the 2013 LA regional meet, but I was sworn to secrecy not to talk about it. I guess the cat's out of the bag now. Yeah, the cups are 3D printed.

Couldn't he have 3d printed a new headband slider?  I like the copper look with the black cups but it looks kind of jarring with the red.

I think he was trying to go for the TH900 look.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I like the looks. Wonder if Dan will offer different paint options later. Looking forward to more impressions.

I'm surprised I hadn't considered 3D printed cups before (though I feel like I'd seen the idea mentioned before...not sure), but it sounds like a really good idea now that I'm thinking about it.

I wonder how much, if at all, the cups will alter the harmonic distortion.

The golden rule of any business is to cut out the middleman.  4real the Tx0RP is now basically just a guy mixing coke with talcum powder.

The Paradox sounds that way so I'd say- yes.
