Just wondering if anyone would be able to recommend a solid, current textbook on high end audio gear: Principles of sound, room acoustics, how the various components are wired and work, including the physics behind the technology-- hopefully in layman's terms....
The October issue of Absolute Sound has a section recommending first and foremost, Robert Harley's, Complete Guide to High End Audio , but then I realized that the author of this text is also the editor-in-chief of the periodical. Some Amazon reviewers felt that Mr. Harley's knowledge of the physics of audio is not what it should be when writing a text such as this. They cite blatant errors in his text. So I ask, is this a valuable resource that no audiophile library should be without or would you recommend another?
I've just ordered a pair of rosenut 802D's, and I really want to understand all I can about my system.
BTW, I read Mr. Doggy's wiring schematic, and I think it is a step in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
