(WTD) Jim Smith - Get Better Sound.

[Artifolk]

Anyone got a copy they'd like to sell me?
Probably a long shot.

Hi- would recommend getting new as this includes jim's quarterly updates which build on the book.

Thanks Mike

I did read about the quarterly updates on his site but thought I'd try secondhand first. Some of the reviews I've read seem not to rate it while others are in total opposition.

I think it's good- though more for the small tweaks etc than the major reorganisation that would be required to follow his advice down to the n'th degree. What I did like was that when I read it I was relatively new to hifi. It gave a very good and easy to understand overview of sound an how it interacts with the room and the listener. I still return to it and pick things out (as Jim recommends at the outset- it is a reference manual first and foremost) to remind myself of the tweaks etc and when I plan to make changes.

Would you like a borrow of my copy? Happy to lend if you'd like to read- that way u could either decide if you like it or if you think you won't learn anything from it you can just send it back.

Thanks for the kind offer, but i decided to take the plunge, being that its only $29 ATM.

Hope you enjoy it!
