AOS Library - Suggestions and Content

[symon]

I did make a request for this sort of info in the thread before this one
I too have been learning a lot from the questions Dave has been asking. I'm edging closer to asking my own, too!
I would definitley like to see a beginner's info section - and I think what Beechy has done here falls into that. I'd still like to know what a soundstage is.

I also think a section on valve equipment for someone who has never had valve equipment would be good. General things you need to know to be able to use the kit, and I don't mean fettling.

Keep the great ideas and thoughts coming...


Soundstage...


"A 3 dimensional sound which has both width, height and depth that exists between and beyond the speakers. This also has a believable/accurate reproduction of the recording venues acoustic or the virtual one created in the studio. Each instrument has its own space and reality, with a solid real vocalists if such are present on the recording. The sound should in many ways be like a real stage in the room on which the musicians perform"

Hows that ...?

I think you Spot on Chris
Perhap we could do basic intermediate and advanced concepts
and it has been great to read Dave and Sue Euraka moment as well as Andy (Sand Dancing Walker) listening sessions with Ushers For me this is what all the effort is all about; to enjoy the music at a deeper level!

I do think that a comprehensive library, categorised by manufacturer and model, of user manuals, technical manuals, original brochures and photography would be highly valuable. In the best traditions of forums, it would get everyone contributing: imagine if everyone foraged for or scanned documents pertaining to their current systems, it would very quickly grow into a valuable archive of past and present equipment.

I'd certainly be willing to upload as much material as possible.

Thank you MartinT that would be very welcome as a contribution to this AOS venture. Nick ( Beechwoods) is organizing it, PM him or list here what you have in mind.

So where did this idea get to? Does the library exist? Should I start scanning?

It's been up for 11 months Martin - did you miss it?

The links to it are all down at the bottom of the big list of fora on the front page.

Ah bugger, yes I did miss it

But even worse, I've contributed to the suggestions topic in the past?!

I am definitely getting old.

[Marco]

Lol - you've never noticed The Library before?

I think then we need to make it stand out more somehow.....

Has anyone else not noticed The Library?
