    That is hard to screw up....although most I've had is screwed up.

    Unless you drop $100/person steakhouses are always lackluster. The ones that aren't regrettably still aren't worth the moula

    I feel like most of the article shows that resting helps.... Maybe not enough for them to care, but at some level it helps. And the rest of it is flat out wrong.

    The guy is a fucking moron. Weighing juices released is not the concern. Do two side by side and blindly taste them, it'll be super obvious which one is better. His cons are shit: Cold steak - rofl, don't rest it in the freezer. Mine have NEVER been cold after resting. Hell on Thanksgiving I rested my turkey nearly 1.5hrs as it was done too soon. It was still hard to handle heat wise when carving. Same can be said about steak. Soft surface - don't let it steam, that isn't resting. Guarantee you have a steak here the crust will be better than you've had at any restaurant and mine always rest Overcooked meat - This is dumb as well. Do you think it is easier to judge carry over cooking at a low heat or at a high heat in the cooking source. To me this is insurance. In particular when you like your meat rare. (Further compounded since the dipshit references over 140F in his article and then states "properly" cooked. At 140f Beef is RUINED). Waxy fat - If it isn't cold this won't happen. Fat will also render better when cooked slower. Again a benefit of resting. The how you eat section shows the guy forgot the most important thing and that is to taste test. Of course if he likes well done beef then he is already an idiot. Definitely one of the dumbest author's I've seen post on the internet.

    Resting will prevent liquid seepage making things seem more cooked than they are. For the rest of you, if you want to RUIN a good piece of meat take it from your grill/pan and start cutting it up right away. Bye, bye moisture.

    Too tight on the tent, too hot in the oven, bad location for thermometer stabbing, or serious bad luck. 105 is normally a shade warmer than extra rare 110 rare 115 medium rare On a bigger (thicker) piece of meat you can run it higher as the resting equalization is not as extreme on the heat creep.
  11. Amp or headunit, NOT both. I am not one to recommend component speakers. To me the only solution is active. Passives are all tailored to different people. Go use your ears and listen to some. $400-450 is a crap ton of money for comps, you should be able to do well for that. IF that is your whole budget however I would plan on using $200 of it on deadening on $200 on speakers. The install is more important than the actual set you choose.

    That I'd do even if my video card isn't shot btw.

    How much memory do you have installed? what OS,and how many slots available for use?3 slots, 6gb in 2 slots, Windows 7 64I would try changing slots I have seen faulty memory banks on motherboards....And remove a stick of DDR and try to boot, 3 gigs should be able to boot windows 7 what banks are the DDR installed in? And what model motherboard are you using? Michael Well I would but... After trying to run 3Dmark yesterday it won't boot. I can get it into Bios or Safe mode just fine. Figured that 3D Mark overheated and mulched the video card. Went downstairs to see if the fan was spinning....can't see shit so I touched it and burnt my finger. If I go into safe mode and uninstall the video card driver will it use the equivalent that it uses in safe mode to boot into windows? Figure that would confirm my suspicion if I am not nuts. If that is the case I need a video card. Photo editing, internet and some word processing so nothing major but I don't want it laggy. I would pay extra for a video card that had dual HDMI outputs in particular if they could run at different resolutions. I need 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 at the same time if at all possible.

    Yes, do it the other way around. NOT to seal shit in, but it is WAY easier to get the cooking time right. Turn your pan on high. Walk the fuck away. Get out 1.5-2tbsp of olive oil & butter. Drop in roaring hot pan. Add steak (already seasoned on down side) if there is a bunch of extra fat in the pan it will burn. Have a spoon ready, if there is extra fat spoon it on the meat to keep the fat temp down, but let the pan roar away. Once carmelized nicely flip. Cook it half as long on the down side and then throw into an ALREADY preheated 350f or so oven. Cook until internal temperature is to your liking. Personally that is around 110F on a ribeye for me. Take it out of the oven. Put it on a non-heat stealing plate (ie plastic), cover loosely with tin foil and ignore it for 10 minutes while you get the rest of the meal on the table. Eat.

  16. The filters on the amp should be set to off.No. The HP should be on. No way, no how can those comps take a bridged amp at low frequencies in his installation. To test to see if the filter is screwing things up he could turn it off but then DON'T turn it up loud as you could easily waffle one of the mids.Aren't comp. type speaker setups considered full range. The way the manual reads you want it set to off and let the crossover do the work. Other wise he will not get the lows he wants. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12224_Pioneer-TS-D1720C.html Perhaps an analogy will help. I have some full range speakers on my desk. They have a single 4" driver in them, currently connected to a 50w per channel amp. How do think the 4's would like it if I played a 15Hz tone at 50w? The correct answer is that it would rip the shit out of them. 5w might be too much. So his components are indeed "full range", but now he is powering them with plenty of power to reach Xmax of the driver at lower frequencies. If you don't want that driver bouncing off the back plate you HAVE to cross them over. This is exasperated in an IB mounting scenario. I'd even HP an 8" sub running as a midbass, of course that is for the other reason that having more than 1 driver playing the same frequency has a strong possibility of creating an acoustic mess in the space.
  17. The filters on the amp should be set to off.No. The HP should be on. No way, no how can those comps take a bridged amp at low frequencies in his installation. To test to see if the filter is screwing things up he could turn it off but then DON'T turn it up loud as you could easily waffle one of the mids.
  18. Also be sure that the splitters then go into the correct input on the amp. Considering the colors won't match anymore that could be easy to mess up.
  19. Another thing to check. It is hard to tell in the pictures where the gain and crossover settings are. The "line" for the screwdriver means nothing. Turn them all the way to zero and see where zero is then turn the crossover up to around 60Hz. The gain should be set at a level that doesn't make the speakers breakup. Start low and turn it up a bit.
  20. The only thing i have added to me set up is the amp. the baffles and xovers have been installed at the same time my speakers and head unit were. When i clicked it to HP my tweeters came to life a little bit so it sounded a little better than when it was set to off. When i listen to radio hosts they come in a lot more clearer in my opinion but maybe a better way of putting it is when the bass hits it almost sounds like tapping a snare drum rather than the bass drum. so a light taping sound more than a deeper punch sound like it did. Once again im not looking for crazy deep bass. it just doesn't sound like it did. ill have pictures up here in a few of my amp settings and wiring. wCrossover Mode Selector Switch (MRV-F300 only) + a) Set to the “OFF” position when the amplifier will be used for driving full range speakers or when using an external electronic crossover. The full frequency bandwidth will be output to the speakers with no high or low frequency attenuation. This is right out of the manual. When i have it set to off it sound like people are talking through a traffic cone. When i turn it on it sounds clearer and my tweeters come a live a little more.. That really isn't possible. A HP of 60 some Hz will not change how people sound, it will just cut off the bass notes. It is also hard for us to understand sloppy. The speakers can only play the signal they are given. If it truly sounds worse then something else changed on your settings that is causing it.
  21. So far so good. Any settings on the headunit? LPF/HPF/EQ?

    Downloaded 3DMark earlier. Started it. Tried to Alt+Tab out of it and it went to just the desktop image. COmpletely locked at that point. Depowered and she'll boot to bios but not Windows.
