grawk Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Note that the bartender is universal fit, librarian custom in this example. obviously. Isn't that obvious on so many levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Not necessarily. To many the bartender is the prize and the librarian is simply the appetizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 those people are idiots, and would never find out what the librarian was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Drummond Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 you fail Hahahaha because of Lang Lang or Rachmaninoff? Most reviews are too long, this one included. 2600+ words. WTF? Here it is (still your words) in ~270 words. Or the version I like best: Is the difference between universals and customs that big? Why does that happen? I don't have an iPhone because I felt it would be good to try something else, so I got a Milestone. It's good, the screen is nice, but it's no iPhone 4 screen. I once had an Omnia though, and that one had a touchscreen with a mind of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The answer to your question is Because. And I've always liked the hot librarian more than the hot bartender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Lang Lang -- mpi is a huge classical music fan. I've never slept with a bartender. And I have to say, I didn't get much sleep with the librarian, neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filburt Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Good grief, this review is absurdly long. Like classic head-fi reviews, it contains a plethora of history and reminiscing on the part of the writer that is largely irrelevant to the issue at hand. When writing a review, always ask yourself this question: "I am thinking about purchasing _______, what do I need to know?" I get that people might wonder about the full size vs IEM issue, but it can be disposed of within a single sentence. The fit and finish can be done in one to two; one sentence is enough for the initial impressions issue. Start with "they are phenomenal", give some basic information about what you tried them with, and then a short overview of the strengths/weaknesses. Highlight, quickly, any notable features that are truly germane. Cap it off with your justification for not giving detailed analysis across genres. The fact that you felt the need to end the review by hoping that people enjoy reading it as much as you enjoyed writing it should be illuminating. Also, welcome to head-case Edited March 23, 2011 by Filburt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The answer to your question is Because. And I've always liked the hot librarian more than the hot bartender.
