We all crave our "fix" for better sound. You just can't get enough of it. Jims book will help you to achieve the ultimate aural high that we all seek. The book saved me from throwing some serious money at an issue that only required a simple furniture change. His tips on what needs to be voiced by ear, instead of meter, was of monumental importance to me. I have to ask, are all those folks sliding copper pipe unions over their CD players AC EIC plugs actually experiencing one of Jims recommendations when they remove the plug? Its difficult to but a price on experience and that is what Jims is selling. Most of us will waste more money than what Jim is asking for his book on source material that we will only listen to once. His book may be the best audio bargain of all time!
Okay. How 'bout providing a little teaser here….What is one (or more) of the tweaks/treatments covered in the book that you found most useful? You don't have to give the whole book away...just a little insight as to what ideas/strategies are mentioned in the book. Is it all about room treatments and equipment placement??

Thanks!
Not a teaser, but a suggestion.

Jim Smith provides the most detailed viewpoint regarding room set-up I have ever read. His use of certian gear to confirm the room's set-up is a must for anybody that loves music within a space.
Unbelievable benefits from just a couple tips!

Specifically:
Reluctantly, I finally moved my equipment rack from between the two loudspeakers to a side wall. Wow, to say the least. The difference is nothing short of an upgrade to higher performance loudspeakers. The "imaging" is the best I've heard from my system!

Every tip that I have tried (i.e speaker placement, grid mapping, leveling speakers & moving the rack) improved my system's sound more than I would have ever expected! I would not have been able to improve my system this much by simply replacing my equipment components!

The prior audio related books I've purchased have been good to very good but Jim's book is the best for system tweaking, by far! Even very experience audio warriors should consider trying the above mentioned tips as well as the power related tips.

Many thanks to Jim. I owe you big time!
