Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover
I have a Dahlquist LP-1 that I have used for many years. I found that setting the frequency to high will make the bass not sound right, to much bloom. I have mine set on 92 at this time, the level at around 1 on a clock and the equalizer at zero. ... 
Quiet, Reliable Hard Drive
I have 5 of these drives. The 2 oldest are 1 ½ years old. Two are 3 months old. All have been trouble free. The fan is fairly quiet, but can be heard, as all fans can. I have my CD’s ripped to them, in WMA lossless and MP3 320 bit rate. One is use...

Legacy Whispers and quality components upstream. 
Windows media player 10
Yes, it offers a lossless format. Open Media player, click on tools, options and then click on the tab "Rip music". Look at the pull down menu for "rip settings". Here you will find 4 choices with one being Windows Lossless. I do not check the 3 o... 
Anyone have Legacy speakers these days?
I have a pair of Whispers and a Silver Screen II center channel and using Thiel 1.5's for the rear channels in DPLII. I am extremely happy with this setup and enjoy 2 channel or surround sound with the push of a button. The sound quality is so rea... 
Computer to Intergraded amp hookup
I'm doing it wireless. I'm using a wireless router at the PC and sending the signal to a Linksys Wireless Dual-Band A/G Media Center Extender Model: WMCE54AG which is then RCA or Optic connectioned directly to the preamp. To do this, you will need... 
Monster Cable interconnects too tight
A little WD-40 applied with a Q-tip works well.

CD Redbook versus DVD Audio
Chris Botti has a DVD video called "Night Sessions" which is also a very good recording for sound and picture. It was recorded in a small club setting. It's a reference disc for me. 
What do you think is the best amp to go with
I suggest either a Coda or McCormack for the Legacy higher end speakers such as yours. Coda is who made the Legacy amp and preamps up until a couple of years ago. A Coda Continuum Ultra would be the best choice but any would work very well. Check ...

Coda S5 vs Jeff Rowland 112 ?
I have not heard any Jeff Rowland equipment to compare against Coda amps. But, I have 2 power amps built by Coda. One of them is a Continuum "Ultra" version and the other is a Stage 3.3. They make these in integrated also. Coda amps have a very hi... 
Legacy Whisper owners - Steridian problem
I can give you some information about the processor. The hum part is only as guess though.Many electronics seem to reset if they are turned off and unplugged for a least 1minute. I would try this first. If the hum still exists, I would make sure t... 
where should i go from here?
I have a Denon 4802 that is a great receiver. I would suggest this or maybe the 4806. I compared the B&K and the Denon a couple of years ago. They are both close to the same but the Denon had a lower price tag and had phono inputs that I wante...
