    I know what you mean, it took me about a year of searching till I found someone willing to sell theirs.

    You would have to ask the Author.

    a pdf of the SDA Compendium would be awesome. I've just started down my SDA journey with a pair of 2A's, and would love to get my learn on about all of the different versions of the SDA's.

    I'd love an actual copy of the Compendium...but I don't think the chances of that are too great.

    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    If I were the author I wouldn't post a pdf for free. A lot of R & D and work went into that document and the author should be compensated for every copy . . . IMHO.

    Ray (DarqueKnight) and I have exchanged a few PM's. Here's the essence of what Ray had to say:

    I have already expended considerable effort placing most of the Compendium's contents (schematics, historical information, modification tips, etc.) in various forum posts.

    I can't accommodate another publication project of this nature at this time.

    Ray

    I offered to take a physical copy and have it re-published for sale. I believe that Ray is currently caught up in the busy-ness of life, and at present doesn't have the time or patience to pursuit republishing, even if I (or someone else) does most of the work. I think that we should respect that.
