I came across a downloadable program or something like that (maybe it was just a recording) that also tries to teach good listening. It is on my old had drive but I will try to dig it up and post a link here once I figure out what it was...
Critical Listening Training Document
In 1980, Peter Cuddy, a salesperson at HIFI Haven in New Brunswick NJ, gave me an education in how to listen as an audiophile. He also gave me a one page, manually typed (on a typewriter!) document full of questions to ask myself while listening to music and gear, as well as to remind me of his lessons for years to come.
It's now 22 years later, and I still have it... somewhere. Luckily, I scanned it a few years back. And now I can share it with you.
After you read it, try the techniques on a piece of good classic jazz, which I find easiest. And please post any guidance you would give to newbie audiophiles that is not covered.

Wherever you are, Peter Cuddy, thanks!
Have fun.
