John,

You missed the most important audio/video term.

Upgrade-itis = Uncontrollable desire to upgrade your audio/video equipment even though your current equipment is more than adequate to meet your needs. According to Center for Disease Control, there is absolutely no cure for this virus. It is a recurring virus and highly contagious.

Hollow, just to add to the list

Indeed...a gross oversight!

You missed "transients." An oft used audiophile term to describe something of which I have no idea. Come to think of it, I'm no sure I want to know.

Provide me with a proper explanation of what that means and I will. I like the word however. To me I would describe it as :empty, lacking emotion and not involving the listener.

Any thoughts?
