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

Recently, I sent for a copy of Jim Smith's book " Get Better Sound" @48.50 delivered. Since I started reading Jim's viewpoint I have made significant improvements to my listening room. What about you ? For those that have read the book , please express your viewpoint pro or con.

50.00 is inexpensive which I'm sure we can all agree. Even if I got no benefit I'd have something to read while listening. I'm going to order one for sure!

Seems like every generation a 'definitive' audio book is written. I own both Laura Dearborn's 'Good Sound' & Harley's 'Guide to High-End Audio'. My question is for those who own all of the books; will I find out anything in Smith's book that hasn't been covered by the other books AND decades of reading audio mags??

Gallo,

I used to be able to read while listening too. The book helped a lot, and now after my latest upgrades, my system is too involving to think about reading anything.

There is now a 3 cd package that sells for about $20 which I purchased. The tips helped me tweak my system to sounding great. I thought I had it right before I purchased, but some of the smallest things will make a big difference. I'm sure there is still room for more improvement and better sound as I progress with the tips. An added bonus are the free quarter notes emailed periodically.

Did I say 3 cd? They're a 3 DVD set. My bad.
