    Is that the Denon HA500? I have looked on the Zu website and they have sold out of the standard 103 only have the 103R in stock.

    No the manufacturer for the SUT is Auditorium 23, and the model is designed for Denon 103 carts..

    Guys, can we please keep the hi-fi discussion for elsewhere? I'd very much like to keep this thread on topic!

    Great pics, as usual, Mika. We must chat soon about a possible visit, as it's my wife and my 25th wedding anniversary this year (22nd December), and she wants to go to Lapland (see the Northern Lights), and also stay at the Ice Hotel in Sweden, but we'd also like to pop by and visit you in Finland, as discussed before...

    What would you suggest is the best way of facilitating this? It would seem to involve a two-stage holiday. We also intend to hire a car (fly/drive), so we can tour around, off the beaten track, as it were, get away from the touristy parts, and see the real Finland and Sweden

    Hmm, is the icehotel the one located the northern Sweden at city of Kiiruna? Or is some other also there? Perhaps arranging the main visit to the other location (Finland or Sweden) and then visiting the other for some days by car might be the possible and easy option if you do not mind driving around.

    Anyway if you're only coming this way just please let me know. I'm happy to assist with the planning and arrangements, so we can continue by PM

    Hi Mika,

    The ice hotel in question is here: http://icehotel.co.uk/index.php As it says on the website, it is situated in the small village of Jukkasjarvi, in Swedish Lapland

    So are you saying that you could drive from Finland (we'd probably base ourselves there, as I think in general we prefer Finland to Sweden), to the ice hotel? What sort of distance are we talking about, say from where you live to Jukkasjarvi?

    Yes, by all means, please continue this via PM

    Nice quality lights Mika. I use a helmet mounted nightfire 900 lumen light which gives me enough visibility to hurtle through woods at speed in pitch black!

    Riding on snow at night is a superb experience as the light and feel is something special,however this is a very rare occurance in UK!

    I will try and remember to post up a pick of my Titanium Cove Hummer, you might like a bit of bikeporn

    Please do! My friend has standard Cove Hummer back in the days, very nice frame..

    Yesterday evening had some brilliant winter singletrack at the forests north of Oulu with few snowmobile tracks for more than three hours. Very mild weather and virtually no windchill at all. Unfortunately the previous days hard south wind and the tide had brought some water on top of the ice here and there at the gulf area, so couldn't go there. Perhaps soon if the temperature drops again a bit..
