Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ?

I bought it, read it, and was frankly disappointed. Didn't find anything new that others have already written about. Just my opinion.

Fsdaron, I re-read the book frequently . On the 3rd read I began to reflect that what Jim details is a frame-work for the illusion , the re-creation of a event long past captured in vinyl(analog) or in "o's" & "1's" (digital). Besides issues of space are issues of measurement that I had not given as much "weight" in my thinking. I have begun the re-evaluation , changing the placement of racks & speakers with a view towards becoming a master of the illusion , not to buying machines. Heady stuff but well intended ideals. Of course, should it work for me good ... If not , I'll start over. Cheers Charlie

I recommend it. As I stated in my review here, it brings together many aspects of music reproduction. If a person has been reading everything and experimenting for years, it may not be new information. But, I learned a few things and saw a few things in a new light. A bit pricey, though.
