Is it bad that I need a dictionary to help with some of the adjectives used to explain some of those words?

Can't say. I find that pretty normal because English is not my first language. I remember myself looking at dictionary over and over again when doing vocabulary exercises...

I found this thread recently to be helpful as I've had trouble with this too since I've been trying to figure out what more of these terms mean in describing my own gear

GUYS..it's pretty normal to need a dictionary. you catch on to the lingo after a while. other than the preset terms we all use that was linked..we more or less use feelings and that...internal..feeling or thing we get as audiophile words..meaning we pull it out of our ...you know what's..and it works

I still don't know half the words on that list. Don't worry about it. Just enjoy your music.
