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

Thank-you all for the thread and the responses. I ordered my copy last night.

I am searching for the Jim Smith PDF file named "31 Secrets To Better Sound."

It was free and all over the Internet until he changed jobs. Does anyone have it?

It seems clear to me that Jim's book is the best $45 one could ever spend in pursuit of good sound. I guess for that money you could instead buy something like, uh, 1 hifi fuse. In any event, implementing his set up tips will make a bigger difference than most any of the high end equipment purchased on this site, irrespective of price. If there is a bigger bargain in high end audio, I have never come across it.

I have not compared Jim's book to others, but I was really impressed by how much of a difference I was able to get following his recommendations.

I also know where new speakers cannot fix the problems I hear in my sound. My room imposes limits that I cannot get around until I move!

I was just recalling that one of the best setup rooms I ever heard was at the Audition store in Birmingham Alabama back in the mid 80's, where I bought my first pair of Magnepans based on what I heard. Actually I went with a friend and we both bought pairs of Maggies that day. Didn't realize until recently that this was Jim Smith's operation back then, so that says a lot for me.
