Hi Guys and Gals.

I am not only new to this forum but i am new to classical music all together, it all started with attending a live concert in Amsterdam and I heared the 1812 overture,it was awsome, and I have never enjoyed music like that before.
I decided to learn more about classical music, so I would appreciate if you point out a starting book for understanding classical music, or any online resources.

Regards

I'll confess, I got my degree in Mechanical Engineering. In addition I am qualified as a Journeyman Machinist so I am a bit rare, I actually know what it takes to manufacture what I design. Which means that I had 2 courses in Electrical Engineering, just enough to have a basic understanding of electronics. However, 110V 60 hz AC power is really really basic.

Anyone have any hands-on experience with the Quantum Physics noise distruptors ?

In a recent copy of the Audioadvisor catalog, i found a manufacturer's name that i had not seen or heard of before, the name 'Vincent Audio'. I went to their website '.au' Australia, however that did not give a clue as to who they are, no notes on the company or it's background. The equipment looks 'Shandling' like from china. Does anyone know about this company? Was not able to find anything on the web.

Went out today and bought a couple of Naxos recordings. I'd never bought any of that label before, but I wanted to give a listen to some of Marin Alsop's work and that was the only game in town. The first one I tried was the Brahms First Symphony with Alsop conducting the London Philharmonic. I thought I might be having a bad day when I had to strain to hear the pizzacato strings early in the first movement, but then my wife who was far from the sweet spot and listening only casually while doing something else spoke up and said, "What's wrong with the system?
