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

I have had the book and DVD's for a good while, and a week ago I visited Jim for his Room Play Reference... Truly thrilling and totally worthwhile! I had come close from the book, but was kidding myself that I did not need to go further in room preparation... It's very helpful to hear the goal. Thanks, Jim Smith!!!

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.

I passed on Jim's book because I've purchased many books that cover the same area's. But Jim is always a gentleman to talk to and has always been very knowledgeable and helpful.

Douger,

Thanks for your kind comments.

I might mention that we were using a pair of amps that sell for $1895 new. :)

Thanks, Hornguys!
Hi, Peterayer, my hat is off to you for having Jim voice your system. I'm sure that was also a great experience! Could I describe the sound? Very believable, compelling, and addictive! Jim's room is treated and set up to serve the music
wonderfully, and it really works! There are a couple of pictures of Jim's system on Jeff Day's blog, Jeff's Place.
Jim and I both have Tannoy Canterbury SE's, driven by tubes. My system appears on AudioCircle under 'Douger'. Jim has conquered ambient noise much more effectively than I have.
His sound and system are indeed world class, though not
outrageously expensive. It is very well worth hearing!
In the Room Play Reference he demonstrates different genres
of music, and should your system take you to the music or should it bring the performers to you. Very effective!
