    Those Pace forks were very nice however I feel Rockshox and Fox have now got the market. I went rigid on an old MTB and loved it.

    bicycle talk, it means nothing to me. I'm guessing 'MTB' doesn't mean Motor Torpedo Boat.

    I know what a Raleigh Chopper is if that helps.

    Haha, yes my other big interest is cycling and it too is just as nerdy as HIFI when you get into it. If you lucky I may even share some photos of me in full lycra outfit.

    Only kidding that would get me banned from the forum and no one would wish to see the horrors of an old man in lycra!

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    They're called 'Mountain' bikes because they were invented by a bloke called Dave Mountain.

    Probably.

    That's a lovely job mate and perfect for what's intended. I look forward to your implementation of room treatment and their effect. I will probably follow in your footsteps, however, my listening room is much smaller than yours and so will require a smaller version
