Nobody I know calls themselves Dr. Doe, rather John Doe, PhD or MD or DDS or ED etc. I didn't get an indication of whether Geddes doctorate was in acoustics, EE, medicine, dentistry, education or that rare specialty of a PhD started by S. S. (Smitty) Stevens at Harvard called psychophysics, a multi-diciplinary degree based on knowledge of the stimulus (e.g. acoustics), physiology, and perception.
New book on "Audio, Acoustics and Perception"
Dr. Earl Geddes is writing a book aimed at folks like us - namely, hard-core audio hobbyists who do not have an advanced technical background. He's posting the chapters on his website so that we can read along as he writes the book. The first chapter is online now at:
http://www.gedlee.com/.
Dr. Geddes is a professional loudspeaker industry consultant, has an extensive background in acoustics (in particular small-room acoustics), holds several patents in the field of audio, is the inventor of the oblate spheroid waveguide, and has done extensive original research into psychoacoustics and perception. I have associated with Dr. Geddes somewhat over the past couple of years, and have learned a great deal from him. I'm very excited that now he's offering all he's taught me and more free of charge, at least up until he finishes writing the book and publishes the hard copy.
