Really? So this isn't the stock t50rp's at all but Luis' original  paradox?

It's the stock T50RP that was later modded into the Paradox

 ahoy There fellow pirates  :)p7

This is my first proper post so I don't really feel worthy of calling myself a pirate yet. I found this awesome place about a week ago on IF and have been reading lots of posts around here since, good job purrin and crew! -absolutely loving it!!

Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say that you have inspired me to do my next project (well after the V-Moda M-100... and SoundMAGIC HP100 anyway). I don't own any Orthodynamics yet and decided to start with the T50rp, I am then planning to get both the 'Mad Dog' & 'Paradox' mods and will review them all together for my blog (http://noblehifi.blogspot.co.uk/). It will just be a subjective review, although I would like to link to the FR/CSD charts here in the review/s, would that be ok purrin?

Thanks guys and have a great weekend!!  headbang

Since purrin already has Paradox measurements (though, maybe 2nd measurements would be nice to compare?), maybe you could send the Mad Dogs in for measurements.

I thought I saw measurements for the Mad Dog around here somewhere too actually. If you would like them purrin please let me know asap, I might be able to get them sent straight to you (before they come to me). Since I'm in the UK it would be costly to send them out of the country again after I get them. Every time they come into the UK I get charged huge customs fees :(.

My main reason for mentioning the three headphones was to thank purrin for the great graphs he already has and see if he minds me linking people here from my blog. Actually does that work? Or are these pages private?

I have no measurements of the current MadDog. I know Dan has improved them through successive iterations. They sounded pretty good at the Village meet, and I think they sounded even more neutral at H3.

I'm not sure if it's worth shipping them all the way from the UK!

Free feel to link here knowing that six people in the world do seem to really hate us.

Thanks purrin! Hey how can anyone hate you guys, you're frickin adorable!  :)p6

As for the MadDogs, I only ordered them this morning. Would you like me to try and get them shipped to you so can run the tests? Although I'm now sensing a logistical nightmare with shipping costs. Anyway let me know and I will see what I can do.  :)p1  :)p3 (sorry, just trying the Smiley's, they're ace).

I tried some stock t50rp today.  I don't know of anything else that has that level of performance for such a low price.  I did notice that some instruments sounded quite thin (Coltrane's saxophone on Giant Steps for example).  Looking at the CSD I can't really see a reason for it.  Is this something that modding could fix?  I figured that the lack of damping in the drivers or the terrible stock pads may be causing this effect.
