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

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.

I learned a lot by reading the book. The biggest sonic improvement was the result of his tip to buy a laser measuring device to confirm that each speaker was exactly the same hieght, that each speaker was toed-in exactly the same degrees and that each tweeter was exactly the same distance to a spot on the wall centered behind my listening chair. The improvement in image focus, clarity and soundstage dimensions was worth far more than the cost of the book. It is an excellent reference.

Douger, Jim voiced my system a year and a half ago. He's extremely knowledgeable and a real gentleman. I couldn't be happier with his service as it took my system to a whole new level.

His own system is supposedly world class. I would love to hear it some day, if I ever get down to his area. Could you describe the sound?

Congratulations, it must have been a great experience.
