Electric Engineering textbook

Originally posted by tangent It touches on audio here and there, but it's not an "audio applications book" by any stretch of the imagination. The purpose of AoE is to teach you the basics of electronics, so that you can understand circuits like you'd find in audioXpress magazine. If you wanted a second book that was all about audio applications, I don't have a single one to recommend to you. I haven't found one yet that has everything you'd want to know in one place.

know of any good ones for specific audio topics?

There are several each for op-amps, power amps, tube stuff, speakers.... I'm not willing to give you a comprehensive bibliography of DIY audio just to answer your question. I'm just trying to say that once you get beyond AoE, the field of useful books explodes. AoE is in a unique position in that it brings together the roots from which all of these other books spring. There is no single AoE-like book for DIY audio.

Get AoE and look up the audio DIY stuff on here, Headwize, and DIYaudio. I didn't read AoE until after I got my EE degree, and I wish I had it sooner. Much easier to understand that most (if not all) college EE texts.
I use it now for reference more than any other book I've got from college (I kept them all -- a rarity nowdays it seems).
