Hi Everybody, as VD said this is the only forum that got fragged by the attack. So here is the do over.
Technical Archives- What it is meant to be
The Tech Archives is meant to be a resource for our members to research the more technical aspects of our hobby/passion/addiction. In this forum, we hope over time, to collect the choice threads from all the other fora that have brought enlightenment to our members. In this forum we will also be posting choice links to external resources and white papers that have been contributed by our fellow members.
It is our belief that although music is art, a good understanding of the basic science behind sound reproduction will allow each and everyone of us to get the most from the equipment we have and thus allow us to enjoy music to the fullest. I for one despite formal education and training have learned many, many things here at WS from countless others in the community through many animated discussions. Many of these great discussions, debates, and yes even classic flame wars have been buried over time and it is for the purpose of bringing these back into the light for the benefit of our new members that we have begun to undergo this endeavor.
In time we hope to build up a body of knowledge that will cover everything from room acoustics, analog and digital source components, amplification, cables, basic physics, psycho-acoustics, power conditioning and DIY tips.
Do's
ALL members are encouraged to post links to informative webpages and paste excerpts from informative articles provided that
