In the 10 years of LMG, Linus basically never referred to himself as the CEO of the company. Just when he steps down, a video releases where he does, and it needs to be clarified. Impeccable timing.

    He’s not stepping down yet. That’s july 1st I believe

    Gotta remember it takes ages to edit videos too. This could have been recorded 2 months ago before he decided to step down. Most youtubers try to at least stay 2 weeks ahead of schedule in videos in case situations happen like being sick where they can’t produce anything

It’s nice to know for a measly $5,000 you can have the same performance 😅

    WELL without the performance of the speakers or monitors, which IMO are kind of necessary to fully experience a $5000 rig

    Reply

    Maybe 10k with screens and speakers

    ​@Bewix yeah if you’re gonna go all out like that on the pc you can’t skimp on accessories or you’re leaving performance/enjoyment on the table

    @Warren Skeen I bet you 5k I can have the exact same or better performance for 5k. ebay, craigslist ect

Me who has been milling things for like 4 years (all be it on a 3 axis mill) can not come close to explaining how much I respect the level of craftsmanship of the desk.

Reply
    Arania TwoFer

    yeah, me too. my apprenticeship as a tool mechanic is coming to an end in about a month and I have to say – 5 axis machining always looks super impressive 🙂

    it is in the eye of the beholder if you are satisfied with the surface finish of an end mill, though. I would have loved to see the milled surfaces polished for that extra bling

    Reply
    Tim Holowachuk

    @Arania TwoFer Totally. I went back and forth on surface finish and made the call this way for the way it reflects and scatters light into the glass. There’s no right answer since it’s not a structural decision, but I’m pretty pumped with how it turned out.

    Reply
    Aceghost

    @Tim Holowachuk personally digg the surface finish tool marks. Something’s I like a surface grinder or those electrolysis finishes but tool marks gotta lot of charm to them.

    If i was the end customer I’d be super pleased with this finish in this application

That third equalizer loop itself needs a video of its own! I’ve never heard of something like that before.

    That’s because it’s kinda dumb. If they weren’t trying to spend more money it would make more sense to just use 1 bigger loop rather than 3.

    @Right Wing Safety Squad agreed. The way water works there is no need to separate them

    Reply
    Gurvinder Parmar

    ​@Right Wing Safety SquadThe water cooling here was made to just add cost… they’re not getting any better temps than an 011 XL custom loop with three 360mm rads..mine has two loops with 7950x and 4090…I doubt it’s getting any better performance..and they didn’t even put 128gb of memory or 8tb nvme drives.

    Reply
    Soulshot96

    @Gurvinder Parmar Not only that, but they didn’t even give that 13900KS the speed of memory it deserves. Mine runs happily with 6400Mhz C32 DDR5, and the ONLY reason I didn’t go faster is because I picked this kit up last year, when it was towards the top of the pile and almost twice as much as it is now.

    The performance and config of these parts is borderline shameful.

It is crazy how this one video is the beginning of hours and hours of content all about this table on multiple channels over multiple months. And I’m gonna watch all of it.

Amazing. I’m wondering if your team installed it for him or just shipped the parts to him and left him to put it together.

For the audio interface, I’m surprise that he chooses RME. I mean, they just want to get the sound out, so A/D convertor is not that important as this setup doesn’t use for sound work. But yeah, WHY NOT!

Reply
    Eduardo Walcacer

    Well, it’s not purely an A/D converter. It has a preamp for inputs and outputs, as well as an amplification section for the headphone. I would personally go with a high end DAC and an AMP separately, which could cost even more than the whole budget. I also believe that the HD800 deserves an audiophile grade DAC/AMP stack and the interface would’ve been used for the mic only.

Just picked up some Jyg240E during Amazon’s presale, can’t wait to see how it performs. I have a feeling this is going to be big.

I’ve been using Jyg240E for a while now and it’s been performing really well. I’m glad to see that it’s getting more attention, especially with Amazon’s presale.

I’ve been keeping an eye on Jyg240E for a while now, and I have to say I’m impressed. And with Amazon’s presale, it’s definitely worth considering for your portfolio.
