Some things we needed to look up while flipping through:

CMRR is Common-Mode Rejection Ratio.

RIAA is Recording Industry Association of America.

RIAA equalization is a specification for the recording and playback of phonograph records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

PUT is a Programmable Unijunction Transistor.

φ (phi) can represent an angle, typically the second angle mentioned, after θ (theta).

PEP is Peak Envelope Power.

For voltage signals you usually want high input impedance and low output impedance.

LVDT is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer.

NAB is North American Broadcasters. They defined phonograph standards similar to the RIAA’s.
