I remember working with Matt back in Winnipeg. We used to talk about LTT because I often had LTT videos playing in the background. When he told me he got the job, I was so jealous and excited for him. I used to text him all the time asking when his Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade was coming out. Super happy for you, Matt!
I'm actually surprised at all of the gear you can aquire for $5,000. And I'll say this. I love the little computer they built in this video and it has to be my favorite PC to come from this series.
I guess this could be the beginning of Intel Extreme Tech Downgrade. But hey, Matt worked hard for everyone else’s upgrades. It’s about time he got one of his own.
Protip for Matt: N64 emulation on the Wii Virtual Console is superior in quite literally every way to Nintendo Switch Online's emulation, please keep the homebrew Wii as your go-to machine :) A man of refined tastes.
Actually I’d disagree. While N64 Online launched poorly, the colors are much more accurate and the gameplay is actually almost perfect now with more framerate than slowdown of the Wii. The Wii and Wii U had terrible dark faded colors on their N64 emulators, so this Switch one is a step up.
Props for using DeX so effectively! I use it everyday on my Note 10. It's shockingly capable, and I wish devs would embrace the potential by pushing more desktop class software to Android.
Here here! If only the usb c and thunderbolt standards would be adopted in sub $100 monitor setups! The phone itself is already expensive and the current dongle jungle on my desk between my pc, surface and note 20 are rediculous, to natively switch between builds. I know you can run DeX on pc which is cool but it lags if you do so.
@@jagtan13 I run a 34" 3440x1440 Viewsonic with USB-C PD and DisplayPort Alt mode. I got it from Amazon for around $500 CAD. Definitely more than $100 but it works great with DeX, along with my work laptop.
@@gbenselum DeX has been around for 5+ years and is still developing and improving, it's more a lack of developers delivering desktop-class software to make use of it, along with poor marketing from Samsung. AOSP has a desktop framework and there's plenty of documentation on how to optimize apps.
I'd agree, but because Samsung's flagships don't have microsd slots anymore I'd rather keep my phone and desktop separate, even if dex were a perfect desktop replacement.
I understand why the LGA 1700 mount was overlooked. When I was building my new system I knew it came with the LGA1700, but It was shipped separately which led to a bit of confusion during building. I’m still siding with Matt on this one, given that he literally told them about it.
Really enjoy this series of videos. Matt is such a good addition to the team (he's probably been with you for a while but I was meaning channel wise). Can we get and Matt vs Sarah build off please!
Why would he not just buy a receiver and hook it up to the sound bar?! The idea of the speaker directly touching the record player is a bad idea too... Damn it, i'm one of them.
I'm kinda surprised that speaker product even exists. It's obviously a niche enthusiast product aimed directly at record player owners, but record players are notoriously sensitive to vibrations and folks try really hard to isolate their turntable from the speakers.
@@priceisalr1ght There were plenty of models of car record players you could always use. Granted the increased needle pressure ensures your records wear out faster.
Considering I've just seen he has a Billie Eilish album on vinyl (which I can guarantee the audio was digital from start to finish), it absolutely doesn't matter what his amplification solution is, playing it from TH-cam through the sound bar is probably going to sound better.
A speaker that you put a turntable on top of? That is literally THE WORST IDEA. unless that speaker is REALLY weak (which could be possible) the turntable will pick up the vibrations from the speaker (some are even subsonic) and can either make the Needle skip or cause a feedback loop that can blow out your speakers, at the Very least you will be worsening the playback quality of your record. I had to use Vibrapods and Squash balls to get my turntable to not pickup vibrations from my speakers and mine is NOT sitting on top of them.
Yeah, that stood out to me too. Technically the side-firing speakers can cancel out each other's vibrations, but nothing you can do about the front firing. If the front-firing speakers are only handling mid-high frequencies the vibrations probably won't be enough to matter, but still not good practice. Either way, it was pretty obvious that sound quality was not the focus (and if it was you might as well go digital).
I know it's relatively unpopular, but digital music formats are better in almost every way. However, there is one example that I know of where a vinyl record is capable of something that is, as far as I know, not replicable digitally. The band "Defeater" has an album called "Empty Days & Sleepless Nights" where, at the end of the song "White Oak Doors" the vinyl intentionally stops progressing to the next groove. It will not proceed to the next song until you manually move the needle. It's an artistic choice that reflects the death of a viewpoint story character. Digitally, the album simply features a prolonged silence, so it's a different experience on vinyl with the listener being forced to progress the track themselves. I know of no other examples of this technique, but it's the best argument I know of for listening to vinyl over digital. (Edit: corrected the album name to an & instead of the word "and", also corrected the song name to "Doors" instead of "Door".)
Locked grooves also allow a record to start looping at the end of playbacks. Also if you like DJing, the tactility of mixing vinyl is more challenging and satisfying than digital. Although I agree that digital just sounds better and is easier.
The other reason to get vinyl is compression. I have some records specifically because I *_cannot_* find a digital version that doesn't have awful compression or clipping in some songs
@@eragon5779 what people fail to realize is that Vinyl IS already compressed. It is just physical compression versus digital. CDs and magnetic tape (not casettes but reel to reel) are superior in bandwith. There is a reson 45 rpm 12 inch records exist: to reduce physical compression. Also, as long as you keep moving the data to a new medium, you can prevent data rot in a digital medium. It's a lot harder to keep transfering analog mediums as they decay, vinyl included.
I built my pc for around 1.6k including the new 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor which was 340€ on its own. The components I remember: Ryzen 7 2700X 180€ Corsair RM750x 100€ Case a generic 60€ one Motherboard Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite (because I intend to buy a used 5950x eventually) 200 and something 32GB of 3200MHz ram 130€ (I'm a programmer and I usually have 1000 apps open at once, the extra memory is worth its weight in gold) 2TB Sabrent Rocket NVME ssd 160€ (on Black Friday on Amazon two offers stacked for a little while and I don't think they were supposed to lmao) Sapphire RX 5700XT Nitro OC 415€ I later added a Noctua NH-D15 but it wasn't included in the original build. It's damn expensive but it's amazing, I've never cleaned it and even though it's full of dust by now even at full load with an all-core overclock I can barely hear it. Late 2019/early 2020 build. That would leave 3300€ for an iPad and a TV, more than enough. Prices now are higher and he went with a higher end case, but still I'd be surprised if he spent more than 2500 on the pc.
@@grn1 Everyone one get's them at MSRP so they didn't need to use the full budget on a GPU. That's why some of them talked about how lucky they were to get 3080s at MSRP while many couldn't get one at all. They just had to get EVGA or whoever to send one for MSRP.
I will say, I got into vinyl records around 2019, and my biggest joy about them is the stuff it comes with. Its kind of like getting a collectable from an artist you really like, and you can listen to it too. Thats how I see it at least. Its a collectible from a band I really enjoy, that comes with lots (or little) amounts of stuff, and I can listen to the album while I look at the stuff. HOWEVER... if all you care about is sound, and only sound, a good digital setup is what I would go with. Vinyl is hit or miss. Several albums I have are fantastic on their own, but are terrible presses. Some will sound great for the first half, then slowly degrade as the needle gets to the middle. Some skip right out of the packaging. Some just sound terrible. There are some vinyls that sound great though. Some that sound better than digital. But then you get into the speakers youre using. Some speakers give vinyls a warmth that cant be replicated. But those speakers usually fail in other regards. Hunting down a GOOD press of an album you like can be an absolute nightmare Basically, I see vinyls as a good way to support a band you like, get some cool collectables, and have a tangible experience while youre listening. But to get the best possible sound with no where near the hassle, I would go digital.
I always felt the the vinyl resurgence was more of a reaction to the "make music louder" wars with the awful compression practices from the studios and the crap spotify does as oppose to any actual limitation in digital music. There are physical limitations to vinyl that do not allow for that kind of maximization of the wave form, so the music is allowed to "breath" so to speak. It's important to note that digital has the capacity to sound better beyond what any analog storage can do. That doesn't mean it always is and that's not the medium's fault. It's more on the many choices and compromises from the many people that made the file. Also, it is nice to actually own a physical copy of something as oppose to just another flac file on your PC.
@@Cluuey I agree. I wouldn't "go back" to vinyl. Most of life there is no practical way to listen to one. But on the side, it has always been a very enjoyable way to listen to music. Next to a spotify though, I will always prefer my own library.
during the beginning of the pandemic, vinyl and merch were one of the few ways that bands were able to earn a living without concerts and festivals. I've practically only purchased older vinyl as collectables but that is when I started building a newer library. I'd say it's a collection hobby akin to funko pops, the audiophile stuff is a hard sell even to me.
Yes, digital formats sound way better than vinyl (I collect records and I'm pretty sure). But one thing you don't do is put the turntable on top of the speakers even if you have a quality record with a more stable tonearm. Speaker vibrations can set off the tonearm and cause skips or worse, scratches due to the needle hitting the record.
Fake it till you make it. I've used this mantra more than once to secure a job and besides, your interviewer doesn't care about the tech your carrying. They want to know about YOU and what YOU can offer too the company. If you land with a good company they may even help you get up to speed, which is shown in this vid.
@@Xnoob545 well no as even if Intel didnt specify it lets say it'd still be a bad promotion and most likely wont be put up on video cause why would your boss (Linus for example) post that knowing it was sponsored by Intel and consequently losing the sponsorship for these vids. Tho as a joke it would be really funny
The tags are actually the least complex part of the system. The QR codes just coincide with the number below them. The only benefit to using them is that I can use a barcode scanner to check items out, similar to a library or retail store. All the tags you see equal one entry in the inventory system database.
Linus: "If you want the cool look of the GPU vertically mounted on the side then I think it's fine to put the rad in the bottom." GN Steve: (left eye twitches)
Yeah I mean, he could’ve just gotten an aio with the pump mounted in the rad or on/in the the tubes themselves. Especially since the look of the pump block didn’t matter anyway
10:38 I disagree. Matt’s an underdog. I’m siding with him, Sarah’s just chaotic evil. Doesn’t take the bag and blames Matt for it, definitely on his side lol
16:30 I have to agree with Linus, switching to LP system with integrated speakers in the base of the player just for the asthetic reasons is dumb. If you don't mind the audio quality, use the soundbar that's already sitting under the TV.
I just made myself a tiny system for casual listening. My $50 Stanton turntable plugs into a $50 X-Fi HD USB sound card (controlled by a $20 ThinkPad T420 that's tucked away); the card plugs into a $29.99 Sharp micro HiFi Bluetooth receiver with $7.50 Yamaha bookshelf speakers and a $3.50 Yamaha powered subwoofer, and best of all it was all thrifted and second-hand components. That's my daily driver and I love it.
Ever since i saw the video where everyone brought their computers in, i believed Mat deserved an intel 5k upgrade asap. I am glad he finally got it especially in comparison to what everyone else got.
I believe they've said in the past that they use the old name in a hat method to pick so that's why it took so long. He definitely needed that upgrade though.
I don’t think the LTT mat would have matched but the blue in his totally clashes with the rest of the setup. Just get a plain black/white one at that point.
I would imagine that Matt's setup was even more janky than my own, but probably a lot more capable. I used a Raspberry Pi 3 for about 5 years as my sole computer. That was tough, at times, but a lot of fun. Had a wireless keyboard that used a dongle, not bluetooth, so it was almost as good as wired. Though browsing the web was absolutely excruciating. I miss the days when most websites worked properly with elinks.
Having a turntable, which is a machine that reads vibrations from a physical track on a vinyl disk, sitting on a speaker, a device which amplifies and emits vibrations, sounds like a beyond stupid idea. Just get a set of stereo bookshelf speakers... FFS
My take on the vinyl trend: It's a bit like with the Japanese tea ceremony. It's not about having tea - it's about making it feel more relevant and adding weight instead of just pressing a button on your computer.
This was one of the better episodes of this series. I couldn't believe it had already been 25 minutes by the time i got to the end, and at the end I had a smile on my face while sitting alone. It's not easy to get me to smile when I'm alone. Thanks LMG. Have a great night.
As a professional audio nerd, digital done correctly (which it pretty much always is now) recreates sound perfectly, but with those speakers you won't be able to tell the difference anyway. Vinyl has a certain vibe which is nice though
Cable rant counter argument: the only visible cable you can see in almost everyone set up is the keyboard cable! People have wireless mice, hide their monitor cables behind the stand, cable rack under the desk, speaker stands to hide cables, mic boom arms, etc! So when it comes to the ONLY VISIBLE cable in your setup why not make it fancy? PLOOF me wrong! 😅
I've heard that having the speakers on the same shelf/platform as the record player is bad because the vibrations are transferred from the speakers to the record player, so having the player on top of the speaker must be loads worse.
indeed, you want them almost completely isolated from one another if possible. the added vibrations are really bad for the grooves of the record and will make it wear out a lot quicker.
16:41 Those Mackies are studio reference monitors. They are for getting a more flat audio signal which will give a mixing engineer a better idea of what the song will sound like on multiple( even crappy phone speakers). They arent really designed for listening back under the best circumstances. So yeah the $99 mackies are better for mixing, but you can probably get a better sound overall from a $50 set if you really shopped around.
@@Vladimir_Kv Only it isn't because they're inexpensive tiny monitors, which simply will not reproduce music as accurately and as detailed as said engineer would have heard it. Not to speak of the total lack of proper bass extension that any speaker that size will suffer from
Want to start liking vinyl? Think about it like this: It's lo-fi. Like, literally, it's lo-fi but on a disc. once you realize this, the ''bad audio quality'' argument kinda falls flat
Linus, you seem like the best person to work for ever. So many of us are in the ditch with just trash for leaders. Thank you for giving the rest of us hope.
as a modest record collector, I can say the experience of listening to vinyl records does have a (debatably) desirable je ne sais quoi. That said, the turntable sound bar thing does seem like a gimmick (for one thing any highish volume could rattle the TT, introducing an unnecessarily difficult-to-isolate vibration).
It's a gimmick to me to, just a good amp and some nice speakers (around 500€ for a pair of very good column speakers) and your play the neighbourhood flat :)
@@Damicske Yeah for sure. I mean, the aesthetic of an all in one speaker/TT tower is nice. But if that's your priority, just connect to a good tv sound bar, which will sound way better than the TT podium/speaker contraption
Built exact same case a few weeks ago. Specifically went AIO with the pump in the rad so the rad could be on the bottom. No risk of pump bubbles in the stand cpu/pump combo, since the CPU is the high point of this AIO build.
@@timothylockhart2009 You don't want the air rising and getting stuck in the pump (and potentially killing it) which is what would happen if the pump was in the CPU block - having said that air getting trapped in the block will raise CPU temps, but it's the best solution if you want to bottom mount the rad.
you do not want the cpu at the high point for the reason timothy stated. bubbles rise and if theres a spot for them to get trapped you will overheat parts of your cpu
the thing on the venyl is the waaaaaaay better compression rate. like spotify sounds soooo bad on good speakers, but..... on the avarage audio set (yes also your top of the line home setup) spotify will probably sound more dynamic, and also the user experience has up and down sides, so as an audio engineer i think both is fair for day to day use and there is no better option :)
I don't feel anything different from vinyl, it sounds just like CD to me, but I still enjoy the medium. That being said, the Andover Audio Spinbase seems like an idiotic solution if you have *ANY* other speakers in your house. My current Pro-Ject Debut Carbon is hooked up to Elac Uni-fi UF5s and it's ridiculous. Granted those are up to 1K for a pair, but even the uni-fi bookshelf speakers would be better than that Spinbase imo.
10:52 no truer words have ever been spoken. cable management is great but taking apart and putting back together sometimes makes it not worth it. i tend to wait til i do massive upgrades. undo everything then redo it. yes it takes about 4hrs. but its the only way i've found to maintain a clean esthetic.
18:21 I tried wireless(Specifically Bluetooth) keyboard Keychron K1 V5, but I stopped using in wireless mode after days of connection and latency issues. It does work, but sometimes it kills both Bluetooth keyboard and trackball in Windows with brand new USB Bluetooth adapter I bought. I initially suspected the BT adapter, but my Linux laptop also shows similar issue(it does recover after few seconds though). I could've bought different BT adapter or different BT keyboard, but at this point I wasn't willing to spend any more money to troubleshoot the issue. I am done with Bluetooth keyboard, at least for now. I also updated my K1's firmware to see if it's any better, but it did not help. And even if the connection was stable, it would get instant F when playing rhythm games.
Bluetooth is sadly not a fast protocol at all. Not surprised you had latency issues, especially playing rhythm games. Did you at least get a chance to tune the latency in those games though? If so, what was the offset?
Vinyl for me is about the ritual of turning everything on, taking it out of the cover, cleaning it off, dropping the needle on etc. just makes for a more interactive music experience.
Same for me, you need a really expensive setup for it to sound actually better, I just like collecting big physical copy of my music and making it a nice experience when I listen to them
OMG someone that uses Dex! When I worked for Samsung it came out with the S8 and I loved the concept behind having your pc in your pocket and docking it when you arrived home for a larger experience. I just have never actually heard of anyone actually using it in my day to day passing in the cellular industry. There was this guy working on a full windows 10 port to the oneplus 6t but I haven't checked up on it in awhile. Having my rig in my pocket would just be amazing.

@@nerdatwar49 I know exactly what you're talking about because that's what my brother does but that is not eating a handful of chips that is grinding chips into crumbs with your face
I'm on Linus's side with the record thing. I want to like records but the sound quality on the same speakers vs digital just isn't good in my experience. Tested different speakers and everything and it just sounds better digital or on CD than a record.
For me I think it comes down to futzing around with your setup and finding all the right components, so that the music you like sounds good to your ears. Everything else is like debating the results of a science experiment. As yeah, you are very right about an apples to apples comparison. On paper everything being the same, digital just produces a more stable and clear sound. ...but again for the hobbyist, we like hearing the warmth that analog can provide.
agree my favorite audio experience is still CD with open headphone ( for the moment a sundara ), in theory flac should get me the same quality but on the cd i own, the cd quality is a bit better than the flac. maybe the mix was a bit different on the cd than on the version on tidal; spotify or deezer.
@@youtubeisnotsogood4390 honestly, I like the idea of collecting records and do still sometimes buy special prints from bands I like, but overall, I just don't see myself making it my primary listening experience given the quality difference and me not really wanting to mess around with testing different things to get the sound I want. So I've stuck with occasionally buying some records just to have them and primarily using digital sound. I do like having physical media though because, at some point, some places will lose licensing or whatever. I've seen it happen with anime a bunch of times, music is just as volatile for streaming services and licensing rights and all that.
My dad owns some vinyl records and he got them out of the garage and cleaned them during the pandemic. I never listened to a record before and I was very curious about the sound quality. He doesn't own any 7" singles (he says they used to be ridiculously expensive) so I cannot comment on their sound quality, but 12" LPs (even ones in great condition) sound noticably worse than CDs. But 12" Maxi-Singles (they run at 45 RPM) sound great. Apparently they were mostly made for use in clubs so the grooves are wider which makes the signal much louder, that means you don't hear the vinyl artifacts (hissing, popping, etc.) as much.
Sound quality completely depends on the mix. I have a first print of dark side of the moon on vinyl and the CD. CD and Spotify sound the same. The vinyl sounds different, I can hear things, not cracks, that I can not hear on the digital editions. But I don't need a vinyl version of Nevermind, it was never mixed for vinyl, so there will be no difference between the CD and the vinyl.
I like records because of the physicality and interactivity of them. They sound great, but aren't convenient. It really is about looking at the art, touching the disk, cleaning the disk, flipping it over when a side is done. It's about loving it. It's the same reason I drive a manual. Life isn't always about doing things most efficiently. I never just sit down to listen to digital music; I always have to be doing something else. I will sit down for hours and only listen to records. It's because I feel more connected to it as a listening experience. Plus, there's no shadow of doubt that I own the copies of my music, not just licensed to play it. (I know a lot of that is applicable to CDs, but it's just different. Like CDs don't have any romanticism. They're just digital copies on a physical disc. A record is sound physically etched into vinyl (I know a CD's data is physically etched into the plastic, but I can't see it with my bare eyes, and it's digitally converted, not the straight vibrations amplified). and they're huge. If I were to use CDs, I'd just do only digital.) I started collecting because I bought the King of Limbs (IIRC, the first wave of production only came as a vinyl/CD/download combo) and didn't have anything to play it on, so I invested in a turntable. Then, I needed more reasons to use it.
Cool views, I respect them, you however got one thing wrong - vinyl does not sound great. It's significantly and clearly audibly worse than digital. My take is people use it for sentiment, looks and show off only. If someone is interested in actual music he goes for digital as it unquestionably sounds better.
Best upgrade jet. This guy is great, He is my blood. Nintendo gaming, LP's, don't care about PC performance and care about ecstatic. Linus you have some really awesome people in your team!
15:40 Pros/cons of Vinyl for people who don't use it. Why Vinyl is worth it: It's fun. I don't like the whole "it's better audio quality" argument as realistically nobody can listen to Spotify on a good pair of speakers/headphones and say it sounds bad. A good 180g record does have better audio quality, but if you claim that it's infinitely better than digital then you're just being pedantic, digital music is definitely clear enough to fully enjoy it. The real benefit of vinyl is getting a record out of its sleeve, onto the record player, dusted down, needle carefully placed and then hearing that first crackle and then halfway through, repeating the process on side B, is very satisfying. I'll happily listen to Spotify, but there's something about the ritual of putting on a record that digital just can't beat. Why Vinyl isn't worth it: Price... dear god the price. Getting a good record player and speaker setup is already very expensive, but on top of that, each record could be like £20, more if you're an oldies collector who likes original pressings. I'll buy a record once a month if that. It's too expensive otherwise so realistically your daily music will be from Spotify still unless you're minted enough to pay £20 for every album you like. To me, it's more of a collection hobby rather than a go-to listening experience, but I still very much enjoy sitting down with a record in the background.
I love my NR200 as well. I got the purple one and I am running a very similar setup. The only jank is that I have a full ATX PSU held in with zip ties.
pretty similar build here. Arctic liquid freezer 2 280mm aio, with an amd ryzen 7 5800 and an Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 3070 Master 8G. it fits snug bit does a good cooling job. under full load max 70°. The NR200 case it the bomb
@22:00 why not move the Soundbar under the glass? it looks like it would fit if you'd slide it in from the side. Wouldn't be perfect either, but probably better then having the TV or Soundbar be living on the edge
Seriously...I've been waiting for yall to make another mouse pad...I love that they come in crazy different sizes though...but need some more colors 🤜❤️
It's an Atmos soundbar with upfiring speakers! Plus, there are riser legs that are fixed to the main unit in the middle that prevent it from sliding between the left/right legs 😔
15:40 playing a vinyl record on top of a speaker, thereby introducing direct vibration to the whole setup? How's that a good idea? I just can't see that setup able to bring out the best from a record, so why bother?
Yo team, isn’t there a possible issue with having the radiator on bottom like that? Unless the loop is fully bled (it’s an AIO) air will pool in the top, near the pump, reducing the life of the pump, unless the tubes come off the top of the pump/block
@@edma06 It's not a mistake, it's a purposeful desision made after considering this very thing. He knows all about this, he has taked at least 50 times about this throughout his videos.
These are some lucky people. A chill boss and getting new tech. I've never had a new PC and I've always wondered what having a new up to date decent PC was like.
I think these are great, the only thing i wondered was that budget in US dollars, as a canadian some of the pulls on these extreme upgrades seem WAY over budget like thousands of dollars XD. The poor Candian Roople.
I'll join in on the record player thing. I think the act of putting on a record and just letting it play though adds to the experience. It isn't my main way of listening to music at all, but when I want to sit and read or relax in the living room there is just something really nice about it. The whole process of picking a record, hearing the sound of the needle drop, and just getting lost in the music is super nice. It's kinda like doing coffee through a pour over vs a drip. Is it effectively the same just with more work? yes. But that extra work and process can be super relaxing and add to the experience and helps you appreciate the coffee more.
Very big point of having those LP-records was they had possibly super cool cover art. The whole package was the coolest object you can own. You waited for a new LP two years. And one thingy was that you could see the music from the surface of the LP. For example one could immediately spot the ballad and longer hit effort. In fact the visual observation gave good clue if the record was full of hits or was it a forced product. Of course a simulation image of an LP-record could be easily created for any current music player - on smart phone or PC screen. It appears like such culture does not exist but there is no reason it could not reborn.

Protip for Matt: N64 emulation on the Wii Virtual Console is superior in quite literally every way to Nintendo Switch Online's emulation, please keep the homebrew Wii as your go-to machine :) A man of refined tastes.
Actually I’d disagree. While N64 Online launched poorly, the colors are much more accurate and the gameplay is actually almost perfect now with more framerate than slowdown of the Wii. The Wii and Wii U had terrible dark faded colors on their N64 emulators, so this Switch one is a step up.
@@Chris.Batchelor but also, NSO has less of a game selection for N64 than Wii Emulation

Props for using DeX so effectively! I use it everyday on my Note 10. It's shockingly capable, and I wish devs would embrace the potential by pushing more desktop class software to Android.
Here here! If only the usb c and thunderbolt standards would be adopted in sub $100 monitor setups! The phone itself is already expensive and the current dongle jungle on my desk between my pc, surface and note 20 are rediculous, to natively switch between builds. I know you can run DeX on pc which is cool but it lags if you do so.
@@jagtan13 I run a 34" 3440x1440 Viewsonic with USB-C PD and DisplayPort Alt mode. I got it from Amazon for around $500 CAD. Definitely more than $100 but it works great with DeX, along with my work laptop.
Android should start a standard, neither dex or the Lenovo versión are going to thrive
@@gbenselum DeX has been around for 5+ years and is still developing and improving, it's more a lack of developers delivering desktop-class software to make use of it, along with poor marketing from Samsung.
AOSP has a desktop framework and there's plenty of documentation on how to optimize apps.
I'd agree, but because Samsung's flagships don't have microsd slots anymore I'd rather keep my phone and desktop separate, even if dex were a perfect desktop replacement.
I understand why the LGA 1700 mount was overlooked. When I was building my new system I knew it came with the LGA1700, but It was shipped separately which led to a bit of confusion during building. I’m still siding with Matt on this one, given that he literally told them about it.
18:06 we don't try hiding THAT cable because it's clean, it's for the look, but obviously wireless looks best, although the coil isn't far behind
Really enjoy this series of videos. Matt is such a good addition to the team (he's probably been with you for a while but I was meaning channel wise). Can we get and Matt vs Sarah build off please!
Why would he not just buy a receiver and hook it up to the sound bar?! The idea of the speaker directly touching the record player is a bad idea too... Damn it, i'm one of them.
Should have bought a phono pre-amp. and connected to sound bar.
Receiver is waste of money, and wont be as good as a pre-amp.
I'm kinda surprised that speaker product even exists. It's obviously a niche enthusiast product aimed directly at record player owners, but record players are notoriously sensitive to vibrations and folks try really hard to isolate their turntable from the speakers.
I found three audiophiles!
@@priceisalr1ght There were plenty of models of car record players you could always use. Granted the increased needle pressure ensures your records wear out faster.
Considering I've just seen he has a Billie Eilish album on vinyl (which I can guarantee the audio was digital from start to finish), it absolutely doesn't matter what his amplification solution is, playing it from TH-cam through the sound bar is probably going to sound better.
A speaker that you put a turntable on top of? That is literally THE WORST IDEA. unless that speaker is REALLY weak (which could be possible) the turntable will pick up the vibrations from the speaker (some are even subsonic) and can either make the Needle skip or cause a feedback loop that can blow out your speakers, at the Very least you will be worsening the playback quality of your record. I had to use Vibrapods and Squash balls to get my turntable to not pickup vibrations from my speakers and mine is NOT sitting on top of them.
only good thing under a record player is a pavement tile
I like using vinyl to prop up uneven chairs
I think you mean infrasonic. Subsonic means slower than the speed of sound which I'm sure you can figure doesn't make too much sense in this context.
Yeah, that stood out to me too. Technically the side-firing speakers can cancel out each other's vibrations, but nothing you can do about the front firing. If the front-firing speakers are only handling mid-high frequencies the vibrations probably won't be enough to matter, but still not good practice. Either way, it was pretty obvious that sound quality was not the focus (and if it was you might as well go digital).
@@nukfauxsho lol a good that sounds like a rather slippery solution but to each their own
I know it's relatively unpopular, but digital music formats are better in almost every way. However, there is one example that I know of where a vinyl record is capable of something that is, as far as I know, not replicable digitally. The band "Defeater" has an album called "Empty Days & Sleepless Nights" where, at the end of the song "White Oak Doors" the vinyl intentionally stops progressing to the next groove. It will not proceed to the next song until you manually move the needle. It's an artistic choice that reflects the death of a viewpoint story character. Digitally, the album simply features a prolonged silence, so it's a different experience on vinyl with the listener being forced to progress the track themselves. I know of no other examples of this technique, but it's the best argument I know of for listening to vinyl over digital. (Edit: corrected the album name to an & instead of the word "and", also corrected the song name to "Doors" instead of "Door".)
That! ^^^
Locked grooves also allow a record to start looping at the end of playbacks. Also if you like DJing, the tactility of mixing vinyl is more challenging and satisfying than digital. Although I agree that digital just sounds better and is easier.
The other reason to get vinyl is compression. I have some records specifically because I *_cannot_* find a digital version that doesn't have awful compression or clipping in some songs
There's CDs that have a very long silence track before the last song, which is very similar
@@eragon5779 what people fail to realize is that Vinyl IS already compressed. It is just physical compression versus digital. CDs and magnetic tape (not casettes but reel to reel) are superior in bandwith. There is a reson 45 rpm 12 inch records exist: to reduce physical compression. Also, as long as you keep moving the data to a new medium, you can prevent data rot in a digital medium. It's a lot harder to keep transfering analog mediums as they decay, vinyl included.
I'm shocked he managed to squeeze a 4k 120 tv, iPad and whole new computer into a 5k budget
Well, the PC is a more modest build compared to the others going for 3080s and whatnot, so that's already a LOT of money saved
@@Shakzor1 Prices are also more reasonable now which helps.
I built my pc for around 1.6k including the new 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor which was 340€ on its own.
The components I remember:
Ryzen 7 2700X 180€
Corsair RM750x 100€
Case a generic 60€ one
Motherboard Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite (because I intend to buy a used 5950x eventually) 200 and something
32GB of 3200MHz ram 130€ (I'm a programmer and I usually have 1000 apps open at once, the extra memory is worth its weight in gold)
2TB Sabrent Rocket NVME ssd 160€ (on Black Friday on Amazon two offers stacked for a little while and I don't think they were supposed to lmao)
Sapphire RX 5700XT Nitro OC 415€
I later added a Noctua NH-D15 but it wasn't included in the original build. It's damn expensive but it's amazing, I've never cleaned it and even though it's full of dust by now even at full load with an all-core overclock I can barely hear it.
Late 2019/early 2020 build. That would leave 3300€ for an iPad and a TV, more than enough. Prices now are higher and he went with a higher end case, but still I'd be surprised if he spent more than 2500 on the pc.
@@grn1 Everyone one get's them at MSRP so they didn't need to use the full budget on a GPU. That's why some of them talked about how lucky they were to get 3080s at MSRP while many couldn't get one at all. They just had to get EVGA or whoever to send one for MSRP.
Easy Peasy to have a PC, TV and and iPad. It’s not even difficult.
You can even do it with OLED
I will say, I got into vinyl records around 2019, and my biggest joy about them is the stuff it comes with. Its kind of like getting a collectable from an artist you really like, and you can listen to it too. Thats how I see it at least. Its a collectible from a band I really enjoy, that comes with lots (or little) amounts of stuff, and I can listen to the album while I look at the stuff.
HOWEVER... if all you care about is sound, and only sound, a good digital setup is what I would go with. Vinyl is hit or miss. Several albums I have are fantastic on their own, but are terrible presses. Some will sound great for the first half, then slowly degrade as the needle gets to the middle. Some skip right out of the packaging. Some just sound terrible. There are some vinyls that sound great though. Some that sound better than digital. But then you get into the speakers youre using. Some speakers give vinyls a warmth that cant be replicated. But those speakers usually fail in other regards. Hunting down a GOOD press of an album you like can be an absolute nightmare
Basically, I see vinyls as a good way to support a band you like, get some cool collectables, and have a tangible experience while youre listening. But to get the best possible sound with no where near the hassle, I would go digital.
I always felt the the vinyl resurgence was more of a reaction to the "make music louder" wars with the awful compression practices from the studios and the crap spotify does as oppose to any actual limitation in digital music. There are physical limitations to vinyl that do not allow for that kind of maximization of the wave form, so the music is allowed to "breath" so to speak. It's important to note that digital has the capacity to sound better beyond what any analog storage can do. That doesn't mean it always is and that's not the medium's fault. It's more on the many choices and compromises from the many people that made the file.
Also, it is nice to actually own a physical copy of something as oppose to just another flac file on your PC.
@@joshuapettus6973 interesting point about the loudness BS the studios were doing, I don't think it's enough of a reason to go back to vinyl though.
@@Cluuey I agree. I wouldn't "go back" to vinyl. Most of life there is no practical way to listen to one. But on the side, it has always been a very enjoyable way to listen to music. Next to a spotify though, I will always prefer my own library.
during the beginning of the pandemic, vinyl and merch were one of the few ways that bands were able to earn a living without concerts and festivals. I've practically only purchased older vinyl as collectables but that is when I started building a newer library. I'd say it's a collection hobby akin to funko pops, the audiophile stuff is a hard sell even to me.
Yes, digital formats sound way better than vinyl (I collect records and I'm pretty sure). But one thing you don't do is put the turntable on top of the speakers even if you have a quality record with a more stable tonearm. Speaker vibrations can set off the tonearm and cause skips or worse, scratches due to the needle hitting the record.
Digital is far inferior to analogue records.

16:30 I have to agree with Linus, switching to LP system with integrated speakers in the base of the player just for the asthetic reasons is dumb. If you don't mind the audio quality, use the soundbar that's already sitting under the TV.
I just made myself a tiny system for casual listening. My $50 Stanton turntable plugs into a $50 X-Fi HD USB sound card (controlled by a $20 ThinkPad T420 that's tucked away); the card plugs into a $29.99 Sharp micro HiFi Bluetooth receiver with $7.50 Yamaha bookshelf speakers and a $3.50 Yamaha powered subwoofer, and best of all it was all thrifted and second-hand components. That's my daily driver and I love it.
Ever since i saw the video where everyone brought their computers in, i believed Mat deserved an intel 5k upgrade asap. I am glad he finally got it especially in comparison to what everyone else got.
I believe they've said in the past that they use the old name in a hat method to pick so that's why it took so long. He definitely needed that upgrade though.
I don’t think the LTT mat would have matched but the blue in his totally clashes with the rest of the setup. Just get a plain black/white one at that point.
Honestly loving all the new camera talent at LTT
Since Anthony, this is basically the only guy who was not either boring, annoying or straight up detestable.
I would imagine that Matt's setup was even more janky than my own, but probably a lot more capable. I used a Raspberry Pi 3 for about 5 years as my sole computer. That was tough, at times, but a lot of fun. Had a wireless keyboard that used a dongle, not bluetooth, so it was almost as good as wired. Though browsing the web was absolutely excruciating. I miss the days when most websites worked properly with elinks.
"they thought I was going solo"

Having a turntable, which is a machine that reads vibrations from a physical track on a vinyl disk, sitting on a speaker, a device which amplifies and emits vibrations, sounds like a beyond stupid idea.
Just get a set of stereo bookshelf speakers... FFS
Yeah, as someone who enjoys vinyl, that turntable speaker shits me….
Who even designs such a thing?!
My take on the vinyl trend: It's a bit like with the Japanese tea ceremony.
It's not about having tea - it's about making it feel more relevant and adding weight instead of just pressing a button on your computer.

As a professional audio nerd, digital done correctly (which it pretty much always is now) recreates sound perfectly, but with those speakers you won't be able to tell the difference anyway. Vinyl has a certain vibe which is nice though

Cable rant counter argument: the only visible cable you can see in almost everyone set up is the keyboard cable! People have wireless mice, hide their monitor cables behind the stand, cable rack under the desk, speaker stands to hide cables, mic boom arms, etc! So when it comes to the ONLY VISIBLE cable in your setup why not make it fancy? PLOOF me wrong! 😅
I've heard that having the speakers on the same shelf/platform as the record player is bad because the vibrations are transferred from the speakers to the record player, so having the player on top of the speaker must be loads worse.
indeed, you want them almost completely isolated from one another if possible. the added vibrations are really bad for the grooves of the record and will make it wear out a lot quicker.
16:41 Those Mackies are studio reference monitors. They are for getting a more flat audio signal which will give a mixing engineer a better idea of what the song will sound like on multiple( even crappy phone speakers). They arent really designed for listening back under the best circumstances. So yeah the $99 mackies are better for mixing, but you can probably get a better sound overall from a $50 set if you really shopped around.
The real problem is the green accent color. Guy has a sound bar under his TV for God's sake, don't think he cares about sound quality.
No, flat line is the best line IMO. No added colour to the sound - just like a sound designer heard it when they mastered it.
@@Vladimir_Kv Only it isn't because they're inexpensive tiny monitors, which simply will not reproduce music as accurately and as detailed as said engineer would have heard it. Not to speak of the total lack of proper bass extension that any speaker that size will suffer from

as a modest record collector, I can say the experience of listening to vinyl records does have a (debatably) desirable je ne sais quoi. That said, the turntable sound bar thing does seem like a gimmick (for one thing any highish volume could rattle the TT, introducing an unnecessarily difficult-to-isolate vibration).
It's a gimmick to me to, just a good amp and some nice speakers (around 500€ for a pair of very good column speakers) and your play the neighbourhood flat :)
@@Damicske Yeah for sure. I mean, the aesthetic of an all in one speaker/TT tower is nice. But if that's your priority, just connect to a good tv sound bar, which will sound way better than the TT podium/speaker contraption
Built exact same case a few weeks ago. Specifically went AIO with the pump in the rad so the rad could be on the bottom. No risk of pump bubbles in the stand cpu/pump combo, since the CPU is the high point of this AIO build.
Doesn't air ride to the highest point of a cooling setup? So wouldn't you risk air locking the cpu if there were air bubbles
@@timothylockhart2009 You don't want the air rising and getting stuck in the pump (and potentially killing it) which is what would happen if the pump was in the CPU block - having said that air getting trapped in the block will raise CPU temps, but it's the best solution if you want to bottom mount the rad.
you do not want the cpu at the high point for the reason timothy stated. bubbles rise and if theres a spot for them to get trapped you will overheat parts of your cpu
22:42 that’s like 100 bucks worth of red bull just randomly sitting there, minding its business.
the thing on the venyl is the waaaaaaay better compression rate. like spotify sounds soooo bad on good speakers, but..... on the avarage audio set (yes also your top of the line home setup) spotify will probably sound more dynamic, and also the user experience has up and down sides, so as an audio engineer i think both is fair for day to day use and there is no better option :)

My current Pro-Ject Debut Carbon is hooked up to Elac Uni-fi UF5s and it's ridiculous.

18:21 I tried wireless(Specifically Bluetooth) keyboard Keychron K1 V5, but I stopped using in wireless mode after days of connection and latency issues. It does work, but sometimes it kills both Bluetooth keyboard and trackball in Windows with brand new USB Bluetooth adapter I bought. I initially suspected the BT adapter, but my Linux laptop also shows similar issue(it does recover after few seconds though). I could've bought different BT adapter or different BT keyboard, but at this point I wasn't willing to spend any more money to troubleshoot the issue. I am done with Bluetooth keyboard, at least for now.
I also updated my K1's firmware to see if it's any better, but it did not help. And even if the connection was stable, it would get instant F when playing rhythm games.
Bluetooth is sadly not a fast protocol at all. Not surprised you had latency issues, especially playing rhythm games. Did you at least get a chance to tune the latency in those games though? If so, what was the offset?
This is the best series of videos you've done. I love it when you give away stuff to your employees or other people. Just fun to watch.
Vinyl for me is about the ritual of turning everything on, taking it out of the cover, cleaning it off, dropping the needle on etc. just makes for a more interactive music experience.
Same for me, you need a really expensive setup for it to sound actually better, I just like collecting big physical copy of my music and making it a nice experience when I listen to them

I'm on Linus's side with the record thing. I want to like records but the sound quality on the same speakers vs digital just isn't good in my experience. Tested different speakers and everything and it just sounds better digital or on CD than a record.
For me I think it comes down to futzing around with your setup and finding all the right components, so that the music you like sounds good to your ears. Everything else is like debating the results of a science experiment. As yeah, you are very right about an apples to apples comparison. On paper everything being the same, digital just produces a more stable and clear sound. ...but again for the hobbyist, we like hearing the warmth that analog can provide.
agree my favorite audio experience is still CD with open headphone ( for the moment a sundara ), in theory flac should get me the same quality but on the cd i own, the cd quality is a bit better than the flac. maybe the mix was a bit different on the cd than on the version on tidal; spotify or deezer.
@@youtubeisnotsogood4390 honestly, I like the idea of collecting records and do still sometimes buy special prints from bands I like, but overall, I just don't see myself making it my primary listening experience given the quality difference and me not really wanting to mess around with testing different things to get the sound I want.
So I've stuck with occasionally buying some records just to have them and primarily using digital sound.
I do like having physical media though because, at some point, some places will lose licensing or whatever. I've seen it happen with anime a bunch of times, music is just as volatile for streaming services and licensing rights and all that.
My dad owns some vinyl records and he got them out of the garage and cleaned them during the pandemic. I never listened to a record before and I was very curious about the sound quality. He doesn't own any 7" singles (he says they used to be ridiculously expensive) so I cannot comment on their sound quality, but 12" LPs (even ones in great condition) sound noticably worse than CDs. But 12" Maxi-Singles (they run at 45 RPM) sound great. Apparently they were mostly made for use in clubs so the grooves are wider which makes the signal much louder, that means you don't hear the vinyl artifacts (hissing, popping, etc.) as much.
Sound quality completely depends on the mix. I have a first print of dark side of the moon on vinyl and the CD. CD and Spotify sound the same. The vinyl sounds different, I can hear things, not cracks, that I can not hear on the digital editions.
But I don't need a vinyl version of Nevermind, it was never mixed for vinyl, so there will be no difference between the CD and the vinyl.
Linus not knowing who Billlie Eilish is kind of surprised me a little. Actually, a lot.
the game he is playing at 19:27 is Naraka Bladepoint on steam, its on sale rn for 9.99 normally 20 bucks just saying at the time of this comment
The game Nicole* is playing 😌 my b-roll consisted of Marvel's GotG 🤘
I like records because of the physicality and interactivity of them. They sound great, but aren't convenient. It really is about looking at the art, touching the disk, cleaning the disk, flipping it over when a side is done. It's about loving it. It's the same reason I drive a manual. Life isn't always about doing things most efficiently. I never just sit down to listen to digital music; I always have to be doing something else. I will sit down for hours and only listen to records. It's because I feel more connected to it as a listening experience. Plus, there's no shadow of doubt that I own the copies of my music, not just licensed to play it. (I know a lot of that is applicable to CDs, but it's just different. Like CDs don't have any romanticism. They're just digital copies on a physical disc. A record is sound physically etched into vinyl (I know a CD's data is physically etched into the plastic, but I can't see it with my bare eyes, and it's digitally converted, not the straight vibrations amplified). and they're huge. If I were to use CDs, I'd just do only digital.)
I started collecting because I bought the King of Limbs (IIRC, the first wave of production only came as a vinyl/CD/download combo) and didn't have anything to play it on, so I invested in a turntable. Then, I needed more reasons to use it.
Cool views, I respect them, you however got one thing wrong - vinyl does not sound great. It's significantly and clearly audibly worse than digital.
My take is people use it for sentiment, looks and show off only. If someone is interested in actual music he goes for digital as it unquestionably sounds better.
Best upgrade jet. This guy is great, He is my blood. Nintendo gaming, LP's, don't care about PC performance and care about ecstatic.
Linus you have some really awesome people in your team!
15:40 Pros/cons of Vinyl for people who don't use it.
Why Vinyl is worth it:
It's fun. I don't like the whole "it's better audio quality" argument as realistically nobody can listen to Spotify on a good pair of speakers/headphones and say it sounds bad. A good 180g record does have better audio quality, but if you claim that it's infinitely better than digital then you're just being pedantic, digital music is definitely clear enough to fully enjoy it. The real benefit of vinyl is getting a record out of its sleeve, onto the record player, dusted down, needle carefully placed and then hearing that first crackle and then halfway through, repeating the process on side B, is very satisfying. I'll happily listen to Spotify, but there's something about the ritual of putting on a record that digital just can't beat.
Why Vinyl isn't worth it:
Price... dear god the price. Getting a good record player and speaker setup is already very expensive, but on top of that, each record could be like £20, more if you're an oldies collector who likes original pressings. I'll buy a record once a month if that. It's too expensive otherwise so realistically your daily music will be from Spotify still unless you're minted enough to pay £20 for every album you like. To me, it's more of a collection hobby rather than a go-to listening experience, but I still very much enjoy sitting down with a record in the background.
16:57 to 17:03 was a masterpiece, Well Done Editor
I have a $100 extreme tech downgrade, It's my main setup
16:30 - 17:12 has gotta be one of the highlights of this entire channel. That was HILARIOUS. Great editing.
I love the NR200 case. I have a 10900k under a 280 AIO and a 2.5 slot 3070 and it all fits AND keeps everything very cool
I am looking at getting it in purple for my media pc build. How have the thermals been?
I love my NR200 as well. I got the purple one and I am running a very similar setup. The only jank is that I have a full ATX PSU held in with zip ties.
pretty similar build here. Arctic liquid freezer 2 280mm aio, with an amd ryzen 7 5800 and an Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 3070 Master 8G. it fits snug bit does a good cooling job. under full load max 70°. The NR200 case it the bomb
10:35 i'm on matt's side!
The way the Hysteria bass line is so iconic it's recognizable even without the audio
IKR?!
@22:00 why not move the Soundbar under the glass? it looks like it would fit if you'd slide it in from the side.
Wouldn't be perfect either, but probably better then having the TV or Soundbar be living on the edge
Seriously...I've been waiting for yall to make another mouse pad...I love that they come in crazy different sizes though...but need some more colors 🤜❤️
Noice, always brightens my day when I say a Tech-Upgrade.
Me too
0:11 the way he pushed matt out the way lmao
21:45 why not put the soundbar *UNDER* the glass? It looks like it'd fit.
It's an Atmos soundbar with upfiring speakers! Plus, there are riser legs that are fixed to the main unit in the middle that prevent it from sliding between the left/right legs 😔
15:40 playing a vinyl record on top of a speaker, thereby introducing direct vibration to the whole setup? How's that a good idea? I just can't see that setup able to bring out the best from a record, so why bother?
Yo team, isn’t there a possible issue with having the radiator on bottom like that? Unless the loop is fully bled (it’s an AIO) air will pool in the top, near the pump, reducing the life of the pump, unless the tubes come off the top of the pump/block
it's linus tech tips, he's the techiest techer of all techs. I don't think you should worry about it
@@defyspacetime anyone can make mistakes
@@edma06 It's not a mistake, it's a purposeful desision made after considering this very thing. He knows all about this, he has taked at least 50 times about this throughout his videos.
These are some lucky people. A chill boss and getting new tech. I've never had a new PC and I've always wondered what having a new up to date decent PC was like.
19:51 did yall see the spark of electricity on the computer? wild
Oh fuck! 😱
Nah it's the power-led for the computer. No arcing to fear. When I first build my computer I also noticed the power led flickered for a sec.
Bro with the Torches X record playing, just earned my whole heart :,)
I think these are great, the only thing i wondered was that budget in US dollars, as a canadian some of the pulls on these extreme upgrades seem WAY over budget like thousands of dollars XD. The poor Candian Roople.
I'll join in on the record player thing. I think the act of putting on a record and just letting it play though adds to the experience. It isn't my main way of listening to music at all, but when I want to sit and read or relax in the living room there is just something really nice about it. The whole process of picking a record, hearing the sound of the needle drop, and just getting lost in the music is super nice.
It's kinda like doing coffee through a pour over vs a drip. Is it effectively the same just with more work? yes. But that extra work and process can be super relaxing and add to the experience and helps you appreciate the coffee more.
8:58 Linus: So you are sure it will all fit?
Matt: Yyyeeep....😂
"It feels more right doing it the broken way than the paid way."
Ah! He is the Chosen One! He will bring balance!
Glad you guys got the Z690I Ultra Plus. The Z690I Ultra has serious issues with PCIe 4.
Very big point of having those LP-records was they had possibly super cool cover art. The whole package was the coolest object you can own. You waited for a new LP two years. And one thingy was that you could see the music from the surface of the LP. For example one could immediately spot the ballad and longer hit effort. In fact the visual observation gave good clue if the record was full of hits or was it a forced product. Of course a simulation image of an LP-record could be easily created for any current music player - on smart phone or PC screen. It appears like such culture does not exist but there is no reason it could not reborn.
