Listening Descriptor Chart

This chart shows common descriptions used on audio forums and how they relate to the full audio frequency spectrum. Miles Astor posted this elsewhere and I thought you might find it helpful.

Someone suggested overlaying it with the frequency ranges of common instruments, which would be pretty cool. 

It's funny but not surprising that many of the descriptors refer to issues to grab with, not successes. These phrases cost us money ;-)  Cheers,

Here is another useful and interactive one that has been out for awhile. I have a framed printed copy up on the wall of my hifi room for easy reference.

Note the interactive supplemental info to the right including ear sensitivity which when factored in really helps one to understand what they are hearing and why.
