I absolutely love good music but am by no means technically or

but want to learn more of the basics, which leads me to my first
question. 1.) What is a good online resource that someone would
recommend as a good place to learn about the technical side of hifi
audio?

First of all, you're in the wrong newsgroup. Try rec.audio.high-end,
which is about home stereo. This is a group for audio production.

That said, go out right now and find Edgar Villchur's book _Sound
Reproduction_. It's dated in some ways and predated the digital
revolution, but it does a better job of describing the ins and outs
of what makes for good sound than anything else that came out later.
