Tuning Tactics by Chase Sanborn
This comes with a cd you can listen to on headphones. Three months, 30 minutes a day, and you will be able to identify musical intervals when you hear them. This ability will do more for your enjoyment of music than $100,000 of new equipment.
I don't have a good "listen to cd" method to learn rhythm, but this one will get you into really hearing rhythm :
"New Orleans Jazz and Second Line Drumming"
by Herlin Riley and Johnny Vidacovich (the best drummer in New Orleans). It comes with a cd as well, with correct drum notation for each sample on the cd in the book. (It will show if your system can reproduce drums the way they really sound,) and it will also get you into hearing different rhythm patterns : simple 2, simple 3, syncopation, 2 against 3, and so on ...
they are both available on the web.
(and then you'll really understand what makes naim so special.)
you don't know what you're missing :-)
