Title: Audio reference materials - books,articles,etc

There are excellent reference materials out there - lets get them in a FAQ.

And maybe start out own glossary - the ones I have seen were incomplete/inconsistent

Well here's something good.  

This is a course of sorts that was put together by Verne Hansen, who is one of Ray Kimber's engineers, as well as a professor at Weber State.  It's very good reading on basic concepts of electronics.

I recommend it even for those who are "seasoned".  Ohh. . and for anyone who works for Transparent.   :lol:

Robert Harley's "The Complete Book of High End Audio" is very good. He covers alot of topics and was much more down to earth than I'd expected. As a matter of fact it's a pretty good book for anybody.

F. Alton Everest's "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" is also a great book.  It's not all for the uninitiated, but it does have a lot of info on how sound behaves.
