KEF does make much nicer speakers, but they're a lot more expensive and weigh more, so they don't wall mount as readily.

To be honest, I felt the same way about the litter box. Like, how hard is it to scoop? But then, after experiencing it, it was well worth the money. One of my cats does not know how to cover his turds, and the smell would be awful. With the Litter Robot, that was a non issue. It was also great since it let us be away for long weekends without needing a pet sitter. But yea, definitely too expensive for a motor and weight sensor. The BOM cost is probably laughably low.

Keep in mind; you're also paying for the R&D, testing (do kitties like it or freak out - hole too big or too small - what happens when kittie steps back in to further bury his poop - etc), + the guarantee and peace of mind that your cat doesn't get mangled or freak out when you're not home.

Sure, but if there was more competition on the market/more interest in the product (bigger economy of scale), no way it would be $550-$700! Think of the R&D involved in a game console, and those cost $500 or less. Still a great product (I have 2 and don't regret it), but you are kidding yourself if you think the R&D on the litter robot makes up for the premium. Not saying it should be like $50 dirt cheap. $250-$300 makes a lot more sense to me, considering they already gouge on accessories/refills.

They sell liner bags and a lot of accessories. You don't have to buy from them, there are 3rd party alternatives, but I imagine a lot of people do get first party. Their latest is an odor absorbing pod that needs to be replaced every 2 weeks and costs like $125 per year. They definitely have recurring revenue streams. Not exactly the same as the console business since they are guaranteed a cut of all game sales (and pirating is a lot more difficult) while the Litter Robot customers have alternative options. Either way, still a great product! I imagine they've done their market research with pricing. I think if they lowered the price by $100-$200 they could probably sell more. But then again, for most people, if they have no problem with their $30 plastic bin, anything over $100 would probably be a hard sell, so maybe lowering the price would get them any more customers

Edit: this was true on the SB1000 and the SB2000 but may not be true on the SB2000 Pro in this video. The Pro has a line out still but it appears to no longer have the highpass filter. This will still work but you won't get the benefit of the filter. You are wiring the sub wrong. You shouldn't be using a splitter, the sub has a highpass filter built in. You need to put the rca out from your DAC into the line in on the sub and then run the line out on the sub into your speaker amp. What this does is act as a crossover so the speakers are no longer trying to reproduce the frequency range you have asked the sub to handle. This means your speakers and amp aren't wasting power trying to reproduce subbass when you have a sub thats already doing that. Your midrange drivers should just generally perform better once they don't have to deal with that really low frequency range.

I have this on my old reciver but it seems pretty rare to have a pre-out/power in on integrateds these days. Since he is probably just using the DAC as the only source anyway it should be fine just running from the DAC if he doesn't have a pre-out

15:40 instead of using RCA Splitters, go RCA from your Source -> Sub Input -> Sub Output RCA -> Amp, this way the Sub will do crossover of the low frequencies. Saves small speakers like those KEFs from also playing low bass, which they aren't good at.

Thoses SVS Subs are killer. I have the original SB12, absolutely shakes the room in a very good way!

Jake: Why wouldn't you use the output on the sub? It has the crossover integrated, as it's a powered sub, and then you use the output into the speakers' input for the amp. No need to use splitters!

@@theBejourn sim racing for me is mega fun but the beginning costs are quite extreme if your going for a decent setup and not a beginner one and don't want to DIY anything. This setup in the video is at the beginning end of sim racing cost, just wait until he gets a motion rig with triple screens and a wheel that will break off a wrist 😂

I was thinking the same thing. A good VR headset is basically required for sim nowadays.

@@ipodman371 your argument might hold up a couple years ago, but with the 4090 you can now have both high fps and high resolution. and honestly even with lower resolution, I would take VR over flat gaming any day. the level of immersion is simply amazing.

About what’s wrong with Jake’s previous shifter: It’s nice, but it is really difficult to switch to 5th blindly on it. You always miss it and switch to 7th

I like David's laugh in the background in these videos. Most channels don't let the camera crew interact so much.

I remember you building this a long time ago. Can’t wait for it to actually be finished lol

I couldn't stop laughing at how he started playing with new shift box like a little boy while making car noises. These guys are still children. 🥰

Out of every extreme tech upgrade, this is the one I relate to the most. I would probably do almost the exact same things that Jake did

I love how Jake is genuinely confused about what's wrong with his cable management as he's basically strangling himself in said cables lol

These 2 i honestly think r the luckiest guys ever to be able to get and build stuff like this just to show folks is beyond me. Hook us regular folks up. Id love to do a video build. Especially that I've never built 1 from scratch. I must do this in my lifetime

Linus and Jake together have a great vibe together. A bit snarky and mean yet funny and friendly, this the best one two human beings can have.

REW and Equalizer APO is a freeware solution to room correction. Great pick on the sealed sub, but you’re inviting issues having those rear-ported speakers so close to the wall. A front-ported speaker would be a much better choice for this setup (though $200 for those Q150’s is excellent!)

@JohnDoe_333

Also using EQ APO with my 2.1 desktop setup. The only problem is that in windows you need to do a virtual 5.1 setup and reroute the outputs to correct the sub and front speakers individually. Of course it needs a LOT of experience to interpret the measurements correct the frequency response in the right way, because you have all freedom to make it better or worse. Fully automatic correction nowadays doesn't make the experience worse, but it's still far away from a manually dialed in response.

I'd also add that the Behringer ECM8000 measurement microphone costs about 40 dollars and is more than adequate for doing this type of room measurement and correction.

I was thinking that, particularly the speaker choice. Not the way I would have gone.

The banter between the two so good

Protip for other setup kings: buy isolation pads for your desktop speakers/monitors. They're fairly inexpensive and they do an incredible job at removing your table's resonant frequency from your audio. Don't be like Jake and lay your speaker bare on its side, your desk is amplifying certain frequencies and coloring your audio.

13:00 Smart editor to leave the dog booping the camera in the cut

I love the dynamics of the Jake-Linus duo. It feels like old Orange County Choppers vibes but less violent lol

That shifter also has a switch to make it a sequential shifter which is pretty neat. But I still recommend buying a shift knob with range selector and gear splitting switch for American Truck Simulator

Something about watching you guys just cheers me up

I would love to see a LTT look at a serious simracing rig setup. Simucube, cube controls, heusinkveld...there's some interesting hardware out there and its a growing niche of PC gaming.

They did a video on a motion rig with like legit stuff lol, idk if that's what you mean but

Given how enthusiastic Jake has been in all of the sim racing videos, it was inevitable that he was gonna already have some ballin' sim rig stuff! I also love Arlo and Ripley, and how Jake spoils them with tech stuff aswell!

I've never been into car sims, but man, this wheel/shifter setup in VR sounds very interesting...
