I don't know if there are any digital copies of the book.
I just received Jim's book for Christmas after dropping a very specific hint (leaving his magazine ad torn out on the kitchen counter). I.am only half way through and love it. While I know some things he covers, much I did not know and some tips are good myth busters.

Who knew that moving my speakers closer together could riches the tonal balance? Very cool stuff captured from his long career. Thanks, Jim!


I enjoyed Jim's book very much.  Really got me thinking a lot more about the room as a component.  Tried a few things in the book with very positive effects.  I'm going over to his place to listen next week, looking forward to that.  

I think sometimes we can be a prisoner of our own mind, our own misconceptions or pre-conceived notions.  The book forced me to step outside of that...  
One of the best audio reference books ever with a lifetime of ideas to improve your system and setup. Almost everything will sound familiar until you pay attention to the details and realize how many hidden gems there are. There were at least 3 ideas that completely changed how my system sounded for the better.  Jim's a great guy to boot!
