Not to steer away from the topic, though, I'm wondering if there ever was a book about the history of hi-fi and vinyl records here in the Philippines. With the wealth of knowledge, expertise and OPM Records of some members here in Wiredstate, I think a definitve tome is long overdue.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. This took three months (of after-office hours and weekends) to prepare because of the skeds of the SMEs and the challenge of organizing their colorful inputs into a cohesive story that both hobbyists and non-hobbyists would read. The story correspondingly grew with each passing month because as I was interviewing one SME, he or she would think of another SME I should interview as well. The original text consisted of 48,000 characters. I had to trim it to 20,000 and break it down to three parts for publication purposes. So I'm grateful to those who read and appreciate it.
I don't think there is one.
I do remember suggesting one time that WS come up with an anthology of its best posts and threads.
I've also been writing here about Val someday compiling his Audiofile writings into a Best of Audiofile book.
Maybe the Philippine hi-fi history book is something our admins and mods can look at as a next project. The people who can make that a reality are already gathered in this forum - sound engineers, composers, musicians, graphics artists, record producers and other music lovers. They just need to sit down and resolve to do it.
