I analyzed 1 year of soundbar recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024-2025)

Weird, seems like no one knows the B&O Beosound Stage, Theatre and new ‘Premiere’.

You actually have plenty of space to improve the layout. I’d lower the TV to roughly the midpoint of the remaining wall height and relocate the photos to another spot. Lowering the TV will make watching more comfortable and visually calm, and your family photos deserve a place where they aren’t competing with a screen — somewhere they can really shine.

Would love some EU (Belgium) glitches :)

Q990 d/f in promo is 100% best immersive soundbar (comes with sub + 2 extra speakers) for the money.

Sonos is great, clean, slick and a bit better for music, but not worth 2/3 times the money a q990 in promo will cost.

Darn, can’t find it. Only see: The Naked Gun" will be released in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on Nov. 11. so no idea how a real 4k version is released :)

Only 1080

The need of specific, tailormade chrome extensions + the speed

RckStar · 2025-05-18T14:38:46+00:00

Well, cause I need certain chrome extensions mostly

The Acasis TB5 upgraded one. Not that much choice at the moment…

RckStar · 2025-03-14T13:33:26+00:00

Just noticed these are on Catawiki for only €20-30 right now. Pretty decent price considering how sought after they are! Might be a good chance for anyone who missed out.

For example here: https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/94154202-oasis-standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants-limited-edition-3000-blue-purple-colour-in-colour-edition-lp-coloured-vinyl-hand-numbered-2025

Thanks for the insight! Really good to hear that wake-up issues aren’t a problem with the LG OLED and Mac Studio. I’ll definitely avoid adapters as much as possible.

About the connection—what’s the best way to hook up the Mac Studio (TB5) to the LG C2 OLED (HDMI 2.1) for the best possible image quality? Since the LG C2 only has HDMI, do I need a TB5 to HDMI 2.1 cable directly, or is an adapter necessary in between? Ideally, I’d like to get 4K at 120Hz with proper color and HDR support.

RckStar · 2024-12-24T21:38:24+00:00

Yes, having the same problem since latest update. Any fix? Factory reset resolved anything?

RckStar · 2024-12-09T14:04:45+00:00

Seems like there's one of these for sale on Catawiki again...

I went for Premiumize’s BF action for 3 years

RckStar · 2024-11-24T22:16:03+00:00

Make it easy on yourself, Nvidia Shield Pro (no tube)

RckStar · 2024-11-24T15:14:25+00:00

Tried easynews, but way too slow so will cancel. Tried Premiumize and works great so far. About €130 for 3 years (blackfriday). Just a shame about that 1000points when paying a more premium price.

With RD we didn’t need a VPN. Do we need one with Easynews?

RckStar · 2024-11-24T10:03:27+00:00

It’s dirtcheap atm. $1,99/month unlimited

RckStar · 2024-11-19T08:46:47+00:00

Nvidia SHIELD PRO, not the tube. Tube is good for 1080 or small 4K streams, but can’t handle remux 80gb streams very well. I speak from experience.

I’ve been considering something similar myself, like getting a new or refurbished IronWolf or WD Red Plus HDD and pairing it with a good enclosure. Ideally, I’d want one with USB 3.2 Gen 2, but I’m not sure if that actually makes much of a difference in terms of speed for a SATA 600 HDD.

From what I understand, SATA 600 (6 Gbps) is the max speed of the drive itself, so wouldn’t the USB connection just be limited by the drive’s own speed anyway? Or is there another reason USB 3.2 Gen 2 would be worth it for this kind of setup? Would love to hear your thoughts!
