Jim Smith’s Book is excellent. Speaker placement is the most important. Consider the Sumiko Master Set Method. If your CD player has a digital out consider an outboard DAC from Schiit, Cambridge, ARCAM or other affordable companies. Good luck.
Newbie seeking any advice
This is my first post. I appreciate reading the posts and I hope to learn more in time. My present equipment is amateurish compared to what I read here but I'm just getting started. I recently purchased a Yamaha R-N803 receiver and a Yamaha CD-C600 5 disc CD player. I have Vandersteen model 1 speakers. My system sounds very good to me but I would appreciate any general advice as to how I might improve my sound such as room correction, better quality CDs, which streaming service to use, etc. Thanks in advance, I really like reading the posts and hope to learn more as I go.
