All you need is ...,?

Lots of debate about the cost of bikes at the moment - I feel this hifi reviewer raises some interesting points in this video that read across to bikes.

All you need is ...???

Hmmm. Makes me think of audiophiles using pebbles to get better sound from their system:

Yes.
This is a thing.
Honest.

Spent all his money on hifi ?

Totally get his point but not sure anyone needed it explaining, do they?

I have no idea what any of this means?

I liked the bit towards the end as a good reminder. If we apply/state our thinking to someone else’s spending we don’t have their context so it’s unlikely to make sense to either us or them. Based on some of the comments on this and other forums it’s not a commonly shared view.

It’s a TCU with a headphone socket.

Aahhh, right. Thank you.


What's a TCU? Asking for a friend.

That back wall looks like an expensive finish to me. It is either expensive wallpaper superbly applied, or it is a hand-painted background (even more expensive). If I had the artistic skill, I would be able to do it for the cost of materials. But I'm not artistic, so I'd have to pay someone who is (££). But I do have very good wallpapering skills, so I would have to shell out hundreds of UK pounds to buy the wallpaper and then hope I don't cock it up!
