I wanted to share something that Christian just posted and something that I have had strong feelings about for over 20 years since Jack English and I discussed the subject.
Are we shooting ourselves in the foot with trying to attract new people into the industry with our ever increasing use of new terminology and complexity to describe the sound of audio? I know I have shared reviews with my wife or even clients with a passing interest in audio and/or music and almost always get a that's nice and interesting but don't understand a lot of the terms. Do we need to change our reviewing style? Do we need to simplify things.
I know that I started this sub forum so we could all be on the same page when describing the sound of our audio equipment. But am I worrying about the wrong people? Should we be more interested in people just coming to the hobby or interested outsiders?

Just not a term I use to describe the sound quality of music...too subjective like most audiophile review word jargon. Reviewers have a tough job putting those words into meaningful context that readers can understand and relate too when listening to music through stereo systems...just my jaded opinion of course...:wink:
