General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

RE: I nice little read - if you are interested.

Thanks, I'll look into that!

Most of the texts I have are now classics and no longer available -
"Acoustical Engineering" by Olson,
"Music, Physics and Engineering" also by Olson and still available,
"Music, Acoustics & Architecture" by Beranek,
"Acoustical Designing in Architecture" by Knudsen and Harris,
"The Technique of the Sound Studio" by Nisbett,
"The Audio Cyclopedia" by Tremaine,
"Architectural Acoustics" by Lawrence.

While the equipment examples are clearly dated, the information remains pertinent. More recent texts present newer examples, but follow the same informational pathes. For example, "Master Handbook of Acoustics" by Everest. "The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook" by Dickason is great. But my new fave recent book is "Why You Hear What You Hear" by Heller. It's a fascinating and well-written work. My minimum recommendations for every audiophile (and professional, for that matter) are:

"Master Handbook of Acoustics" by Everest,
"Music, Physics and Engineering" by Olson,
"Why You Hear What You Hear" by Heller.

Those three books should be on everyone's shelf.

Edit: Fixed a name. It's Heller, not Geller. Geller is a local orthodontist. Sorry!

:)
