I read peoples reviews of headphones and amps, etc and they describe it with various terminology.
 
Is there a list and a guide to explain what certain terms mean and help idiots like me understand.  So when we hear better headphones for the first time or read someones review of them, we have a better understanding of the terms used.
 
Thanks

This is probably a good starting point for beginners:

The next step would be:

The Stereophile link at the bottom of the page I find quite useful too.
