To me it's the supremacy of the "mike feed".
What we hear in the studio listening to the mike feed is not what the mike actually captured, but it's the sound of the monitor amp / speaker.
So, if it "sounds just like the mike feed" it means your amps / speakers sound just like the ones that were used in that specific recording studio.Nothing more, nothing less.
Also,"best", "next level", "perfection" - these do not mean anything as there are at least a dozen of these coming out every month..

Any use of the noun timbre as an adjective or adverb |
Thank you to all. I got a few good chuckles out of your responses. There is a classic Jazz song named, "Compared to What"...and it is true that everything can possibly be seen as something compared to something else, including humans.

Describing any piece of gear as 'reference.' It's a completely meaningless term. Compared to what? When I was 16 years old my 'reference system' was an 8-track deck bolted under the dash of a Ford pickup truck. |

Just remembered my Number 1 cringe inducer:
"Built like a tank"
There must be a hundred more ways of saying well built. |
"Sounds like analog"
"Concert hall in your living room"
And...from a Clarus advert:
"The music is I and I am the music..." |
|
"You owe it to yourself."
"Best kept secret."

“What are the current useless terms in this audio world”
Just read up on all the threads and posts by millercarbon 😂 |

"Musical" is no longer carrying much meaning for me. |
A few come to mind:
Digital Ready
Quantum (anything)
Photo Sample (if it's open it's used)

People should stop using YMMV as it's just a polite way of saying bugger off. It should go something like, it works for me and I don't care to hear your critiques of what you can't hear in my system.

The worst word in audio is "best," as in "What is the best DAC on the market today?" or "What is the best speaker for under $8k?" or more relevant to your question, "This amplifier [the one for sale] is the best amp I've ever heard."

They are all useful. You can learn a lot about the person using them by the terms they think are useful. When you read word salad you know you are dealing with a vegetable.

Good luck only you know what this means |
I'll say "neutral". It means nothing to me. I would replace it with natural if anything. |
