It’s the sort of thing in this picture that is the silliest - thousands previously spent on large equipment for a tiny, acoustically sub-optimal room and just dropped another £500+ on a power supply, with zero consideration given to treatment that would actually make a quantifiable difference.

I'm sure it took much careful calibration to position the Saturn V rocket just right.

You could say the same thing about people spending thousands on bikes, when none of that make a 'quantifiable difference'.
I'd rather rip him for his love of Thunderbirds and obvious union jack rug. -
All so he can listen to Keane FFS.
Keane!
Takes a picture to show off his amazing hi-fi, and that's the record he chooses to put in pride of place.

I'm as guilty of it as anyone else,
My current system took a couple of years to piece together, I had the power amp stashed under my bed for a year until I could afford the pre-amp to go with it,
I'd read for years about it's legendary status and I'd wanted one from seeing them at hifi shows as a kid, but above all else I wanted one because of how it looks, to my eyes it is one of the most beautiful aesthetic objects I've ever seen,
When I finally got it up and running I was a bit underwhelmed, so asked around the brand forum for advice, the majority was to swap out the expensive speaker cable and use the companies own cheaper cable,
Sure enough it was "as if a veil had been lifted in front of the music" everything came into focus and it really does sound magnificent,
But then again, I spent £250 on a glass optical cable for my streamer and can't tell the difference between the £20 I had before it.
Enjoy what you have, don't get too caught up listening to the system and trying to analyse it.
