Learning the lingo


I have always enjoyed music and still do. But I find myself sometimes lost in understanding the electrical aspects. Can someone recommend a source, internet, book, magazine, etc that I can read to understand the lingo and theory, everything from the impedance matching, ohms, what makes one power supply superior to another and why, capacitance, to name just a few. My goal is to gain a better understanding of how it all works, why in theory certain components should sound better, etc. Again I love music but want to understand the "electrical engineering" aspect.

I agree with Swampwalker - Hartley's book is worth having, and will answer the questions you pose and more. (the complete title is "The Complete Guide to High-End Audio") He also has a companion book on Home Theater - "Home Theater for Everyone".
