Sadly that is how most pre built PC's have their thermal past applied. Probably the only difference is that a machine does it (or some underpaid mexican worker standing near a conveyor).
It is always a good idea to replace thermal paste on machines older than a year, just use the right method (line or dot). Arctic Cooling actually has a manual for each differen CPU.

Vinyl is for when you enjoy making listening to music a whole ritual, taking out a large physical disk with art on it, put on the needle and so on for the nostalgia coolness like being in the 70s or something. Sound quality wise digital is better.

>>52134650
The only reason why modern digital formats are better is the absence of background noise and sound artifacts due to scratches/physical imperfections on the surface, but these all depend on the quality of the recording. If you have a good vynil recording and a proper setup, why don't give it a try? Vynils provide an unmatched listening experience and a much warmer and natural sound compared to their digital counterparts. Just buy original vynils of pre-90's music though, because vynils of modern recordings are shit.
>>52134536
I understand that you're trying to seem intelligent by being a contrarian, but you're a complete retard if you think there's audible difference between lossless and "shitty mp3 format"

>>52136501
Not him, but it depends on how shitty the mp3 format is. There may not be audible differences between Flac and 320 kbps mp3 (although this depends on the quality of the recording), but the differences between low bit-rate lossy files and Flac are audible. Sometimes there can also be audible differences between mp3/lossy files of different bit-rates.

>>52136329
You couldn't be more wrong, vinyl sound is severely limited in the lower range to keep the stylus from jumping off track. This is then compensated for by the RIAA filter in the pre amp. The result of which is a severely reduced dynamic range when compared to a cd or even mp3. Look it up faggot.

Do you think that the computer dynamically generates mp3s whenever it'd edm?
I don't think most people notice the difference between CD and vinyl fidelity, mainly because they don't care about the sonics so much.
But a properly-mastered LP that's played on a quality turntable with a well-made stylus will sound closer to the master than a CD, and certainly more than an MP3, no matter what kind of music it is.
>>52138337
>properly-mastered
You need to do a separate master specifically for vinyl production to fit within the limitations I described >>52136645 or it will sound like complete shit and not even be playable. So saying shit like
>closer to the master than a CD
Makes no fucking sense at all, because they're not made from the same master at all. Mostly these days though, The vinyl is a retroactive adaption from the CD version, not the other way around.

The digital medium is better for preserving data.
>I don't think most people notice the difference between CD and vinyl fidelity, mainly because they don't care about the sonics so much.
Vinyl fidelity is flat out bad, bad enough that it easily distinguished by the pops. Vinyl has limited dynamic range and resolution, an inability to do repeat plays,limited stylus/groove alignment errors giving distortion, wow/flutter.
>But a properly-mastered LP that's played on a quality turntable with a well-made stylus will sound closer to the master than a CD, and certainly more than an MP3, no matter what kind of music it is.
Vinyl is reel to reel for plebs, and the studios ditched reels in droves when the A-D-A converters for CD audio came in.

>>52144688
It is when you are using low efficiency headphones. Yes with regular low impedance headphones the iPhone will sound really good but using low efficiency headphones with high impedance will clearly be bottlenecked by the iPhone. You can have a really high dynamic range and low noise level but you still need to be able to supply enough power to a headphone to make it sound right. So using it as a benchmarking device is plain stupid.
>>52135057

No. Higher impedance is easier load.
>You can have a really high dynamic range and low noise level but you still need to be able to supply enough power to a headphone to make it sound right.
That's SPL, the Ultrasone is decent sensitivity, and the iPhone has loads more voltage than you seem to think it does. It would just be quieter, but it isn't.
>>52145221
What's wrong with the word bottleneck, you fag
>>52145293
Higher impedance does not mean an easier load. You need to look at both the sensitivity and impedance if you want to judge how hard to drive a headphone is. A lot of high impedance (not all) headphones are paired with low sensitivity. A lot of low impedance headphones are designed for mobile devices and thus have high sensitivity (so they are easier to drive).
What is wrong with the word bottleneck?
>>52135272
Good job on this post Anon 8/10 for you.
>>52145441
>Higher impedance does not mean an easier load.
I had assumed that you would read that as impedance holding all else equal.
Depending on the current draw, the distortion can make itself manifest. High impedance load minimizes the output impedances issues that also present FR shifts.
Bottleneck lumps up issues that come from different parts of the audio chain. Each issue is often unique to the operation performed.
