Recent Completed Program-Sunday, October 25, 2009 "Get Better Sound" - presented by author Jim SmithMembers and guests gathered to met the author of the best selling "Get Better Sound" book. Jim actively demonstrated with a spectrum analyser and discussions how to achieve the best sound from an affordable audio system, with initial set-up and positioning of the loudspeakers most critical. He also exploded common held "myths" of speaker set-up in the average listening room, all quite enlightening...Sales of autographed copies of the Get Better Sound book were available to attendees at 33% discount. Thanks Jim... This was a "triple whammy" program featuring not only Jim but two other presenters as well. Dr. Tommy J Anderson of ACA Recordings presented present a primer on the pros, cons and myths of HD Radio including both Broadcast and On-Line channels...and Dr. Phil Muse our in-house classical music reviewer played selections from his most recently reviewed CD's. These will be available for Raffle at a future meeting... To quote a review of Jim Smith's book all the way from Italy; "Jim Smith is a well respected "pro" in the US high-end market hence US readers might not need an introduction. For us EU readers let me just say that Jim Smith's CV is quite long and impressive. He started in the early Seventies, working as customer service manager (and even in the sales & marketing department) at Audio Research Corporation (ARC). At that time he wrote the installation manuals for the Tympani 1D Magneplanar loudspeakers. Then he moved to Magnepan, for which he wrote the manuals for various Magneplanar models (MG1's and MG2's, for example). In 1979 he opened his own high-end shop, Audition, in Birmingham, Alabama. The shop soon became - for the high-end niche - one of the top-10 HiFi stores nationwide. In the meanwhile he got involved in producing live music recordings of excellent quality. In 1993, unhappy of what the high-end scene was becoming, he left the audio industry. In 1999 he returned as the US distributor of Avantgarde loudspeakers. Despite the fact horns weren't much popular among high-enders, he won seven "Best Sound of the Show" awards in five years, thanks to his accurate demos of Avantgarde speakers". © This in-turn led to a book with 202 tips in almost
300 pages, with very clear and nice drawings and set-up schemes. www.tnt-audio.com/books/get_better_sound_e.html Location: Virtual Properties Realty office - 6650 Sugarloaf Parkway, Suite 700, Duluth, GA 30097.
