Hi-Fi Decoded: Audiophile Terminology Guide

What is an Audiophile? We all have an idea and chances are, that idea is much different from the person next to you. Most hobbies are cut and dry. Do you collect "this?" Then you're "that." Audiophilia is a bit more nebulous. But it doesn't have to be.
Ricky Kovacs

My dad told me to be responsible and get a job that would allow me to finance my passion for music. Well, I did. That's why I spend all day in a proverbial candy store for music lovers. It's a dream job really.

Ricky Kovacs is a performer at heart but loves to bring his passion and experience with music to others. With a background in both politics and religion, Ricky has a knack for writing about divisive topics - which is why at the end of the day he loves writing about the one thing that brings us all together: music. Outside of Moon Audio, Ricky enjoys performing music in his band, recording, video games, virtual photography, reading, traveling, partaking in the finest scotch, and spending time with his wife, newborn, and doggy.
