Which thread on headfi? The "Audeze LCD-2 appreciation thread"?

I have the Stax basic system. While it has a smooth midrange, the highs have a metallic zing that is unnatural, and makes any type of music unlistenable (radio pop, jazz, acoustic, rock, electronica). Whoever made this headphone was deaf, over 40, whatever. I also cannot stand the fake earpad material, the naugahyde/PU is plastic and non-breathable and sticky on the face. But there are many different Stax, I read some are not as bright.

The Audeze, I have read sound "natural" and have good "bass", but what about the high frequencies? Bright, rolled off, grainy, what? Does it ear piercing on a female vocal or violin?
