You guys would die to have the audi diesels we have over here. . I
have an a4 diesel and I would say it is great. Today I returned my
rental car which was a citroen and it was very very fast and fuel
efficient. Very efficient. . My audi does fifty five to sixty mpg and
this citroen was better! What you get there is not as good as what we
have! The current diesels are awesome. . My dream car, he I needed

 Any Audi that old is a rare car because they RUST like crazy.

 However, the TD isn't a bad engine (my Volvo has the 6 cylinder 2.4L
 version) and other than a fragile aluminum head (sound familiar to OM
 603 owners?) they are quite robust.

 Probably NOT a blown head gasket, although that's possible -- serious
 cracking between the valves is usually the problem.  This can be bad
 enough that the valve guides come loose and pump in the head.
 However, the Volvo/Renault/VW head can be welded.

Re: [MBZ] OT, equalizer V bass/treble

2009-02-02 Thread Jeff Zedic
An equalizer can be helpful but most audiophiles do not use them. If
your system is set up properly there really should be no need for one.

If you have a boomy room or flat room then it can help.

I'm into stupidly expensive gear and do not use them. With my live
sound gear I used one because the rooms were always different but I
used a real time auto EQ so it was no problem.

Listening to mp3s, the EQ can make a big difference because of rubbish
sound from mp3s.

If your ear doesn't hear any difference then you don't need to worry.

The last thing an audiophile wants is another connection and circuit
in the sound chain.

Actually the Previa did not have a trans fluid filter originally. It

 Many people thought it was a filter and replaced it with some Fram

 The price for a strainer was high...about three or four times that of

Gentlemen of the vinyl variety,

 I was poking through my LP collection last night and found that I
have two box sets of Beethoven with Symphony #9 and BOTH are with
Herbert Von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.

 The difference being one is a digitally remaster on vinyl and the
other an analogue release. Both by Deutsche Gramaphone! Hmmm, direct
comparison time!

 Same master, same people, same label.guess which one sound better.


BTW, both are pristine and cost me less than $5 at a charity shop. One
is a three disc(?) set of Symphony 5  9 and the analogue one is all
9! I forgot I had them! What a pleasant surprise.

Re: [MBZ] OT LPs

2008-11-17 Thread Jeff Zedic
Allan,

Not all studios are recording in digital. I know that Elvis Costello, Diana
Krall and Tom Waits are still recording in analogue. I wouldn't be surprised
if analogue desks made a comeback.

However, I bought a Springsteen album of folk music he did and it stank of
digital...no life at all, really. Also have the Beatles Love album from
the Vegas Cirque Du Soleil show and it also reeks of digital at times. You'd
think that having access to the masters would guarantee a good result but it
has too much bass and at times almost seems like pohase shifting from the
shitty digital remaster.

In short, some do, some don't. You need to read the fine print to know for
sure.

Also, some of the digital recordings are quite good. I also suspect that any
analogue recording being done is on muc better tape as the tape hiss and
pre-echo doesn't seem to exist on them.  Pre-echo is hearing an upcoming
pice of the music in the background before it actully is played. Think of
Whole Lotta Love by Zeppelin where you could hear Plant's vocals in the
background of the quiet part,  Way down inside...woman.you
nd

Levels were too high on the tape and their magnetism transferred onto the
previous part of the tape.

Curt,

Antytime you're over here in London let me know and I'll show you the
difference in sound between analogue and digital. It really is
massive.

It's not your ears, it's the equipment or your personal preferences.
I'm a music snob and tend to listen to music and do nothing, or
little, else whilst listening. You can get much more into the music
this way.a lot more if that's your thing.

 The immediacy and transparency of analogue is amazing. Lots of extra
acoustic information. Last night I was listening to Elvis Costello's
album North and you can hear and feel him moving around and singing
off-mike.

 It's not convenient, but it is vastly superior. I also don't think
that having music around you 24/7 is a good thing.it cheapens the
experiencemakes the musicians effort seem less important.

Re: [MBZ] Another reason to stay home

2008-06-22 Thread Jeff Zedic
  That is the reason we HAVE a government.


 I'm sure you get a strong difference of opinion about that with some
  people on the list.
This is where I beg to differ. The purpose of the government is to get
things done for the common good. Your gov't built the interstate
system, remember?

 It's not supposed to be run like a business. It's not there to
support business as business can't elect representatives.

 It's not meant to create jobs but to provide an environment whereby
jobs are created by the market. In the US people have a very negative
view of gov'tmainly people who don't bloody vote.

 The media makes them look bad. If the media spent more time on
corporate welfare, rich farmers/stupid subsidies and institutional
corruption, maybe more people would be informed.

Instead, keeping them ignorant and entertained allows an easy ride for
the rhetoric/bullshit spinners to get elected.

 You guys have a real mess on your hands and I don't see it changing
any time soon. A real sea change is required but you've painted
yourselves into a corner. Something real and tangible needs to be
done...maybe I'm just too idealistic but I agree with what Peter had
written.

 This is why I think the current crunch will hit North America harder
than anywhere else in the developed world. Too much
selfishness.too much individualism and not enough individuality.

Re: [MBZ] '83 300D valve cover

2008-06-13 Thread Jeff Zedic
I believe it's to reduce the amount of oil going into the breather
tube that goes to the air cleaner. There was a dealer fix years ago
that involved using RTV to seal up the gaps there.

The oil filler cap has a gasket and if it's leaking it needs to be
replaced. It's interchangeable with your fuel tank cap. Swap them and
see if the leak goes away.

It all depends on how well it's packaged. We used to ship hood all the

Best bet is to crate it.

Global warming has always been on Venus as the atmosphere is mostly
CO2 and much denser than ours. In fact, the surface temps on Venus are
hot enough to melt lead.Mars has almost no atmosphere and so is more
vulnerable to minor solar changes without the protection we get.

 The only probes that have landed on Venus were Russian and lasted
less than one hour on the surface. Forget Mars for a wild place to
visit, do a search for the pics from Venus!

Perhaps if there was more mature political debate in the popular US
media and less Osama/Obama childishness you'd get more people
involved and have  more legitimate representatives.

 But that's NOT what the elites want. (And they are of both parties)
It's the old shell gamekeep them looking at the flag or their

Personally I'd try redownloading it from here:

Hopefully this is where you got it from and the problem is with making
a bootable cd.

Re: [MBZ] OT rotisserie question

2008-05-16 Thread Jeff Zedic
You're better off with a lower heat and a longer cooking. Rotisserie
is the best for chicken!

And give the skin a few pokes with a fork to make some dribble holes
for the juices!

Re: [MBZ] OT Linux Query

2008-05-09 Thread Jeff Zedic
I think we have about 11 people in total. More than 11 systems running
Linux but I'm looking for the percentage of listers not systems.

Next I'd need to have an idea of how many members are here.

Either way, I'd say we have a disproportionately high Linux
penetration which is a good thing!

Those are definitely viruse and they've come in via a MyWebSearch
toolbar program. Remove it in add/remove programs in control panel.

This website will allow you to get info on the viruses mentiones and
their threat level.

There's no way that would ever happen. It would be a bloodbath and you
would be defeated just like in 1812! hehe

You ever want to see Canadians get really riled up, then tell them
that the US will invade. We go from meek and mild to menacing in a
picosecond!

I believe the US tried three times to invade and were beaten back each
time, luckily for us.

Mind you, we had a coalition of Brits, Canucks and natives and the
advantage of height.

Re: [MBZ] OT, replace computer

2008-05-08 Thread Jeff Zedic
Allan,

But it's your choice to fiddle or not to fiddle. Simply choose an
environment you think looks nice and off you go.

 You'll fiddle a  LOT more with MS than you do with Linux. Seems like
I was always chasing some nonsense in Windows and haven't had to do
that with Linux...not since cresting the minor learning curve. It
doesn't take long to adjust and then you wonder why you bothered with
MS in the first place!

 You could sit anyone down at a Linux desktop and they'd find their
way around immediately and never look back.

It's mostly fear of the unknown.

Cnet forums is another good place to look. There's a lot of info on
the viruses as well as real people's experiences in getting rid of
them.
