It's understandable. I was bummed out to not to read any reviews, too. I didn't stop me from buying though lolol and BOB knows that.
The only thing i disagree with is your use of the word libidinous... It makes my enthusiasm for the audio world make me look like an audio... phile... oh wait, too late

But aside from the facetiousness, it was unfortunate to not read reviews before buying the IEM's. I have the utmost confidence in them, but i wanted to see them, too.
But it has been a very enjoyable/unique time to be able to discuss be a part of this audio... enthusiasm... or passion, with other audio... enthusiasts
. all 6200 posts?!? Damn, lol. That's some serious work.
