![]() Working on the drum and bass sounds wasn't that easy, as we missed the physical reaction of the low-end in the room. It was a pleasure to be listening to headphones and not speakers, which makes a change.įinally, we tried a couple of mixes on it back in our studio. SPL's claim that the device helps to reduce ear fatigue was certainly borne out by our experience over those three days. It made the whole process much simpler and a lot quicker. ![]() With the aid of the Phonitor we were able to accurately gauge what we were recording, both in terms of EQ and ambience, and have it translate fantastically well onto speakers. Our normal approach would be to cobble together what I hoped was the sound we wanted, record a bit and then play it back to check it. I was in the room with the musicians so I couldn't monitor on speakers, and as it was all acoustic, even setting up was tricky due to feedback. I took the Phonitor to a three-day overdubbing session taking place in the living room of a country house. Centre level lets you control this so that it accurately matches what you hear through your speakers. When you use the Crossfeed and Speaker Angle, a side effect is that the centre of the stereo image gets boosted. The third control is called Centre Level and enables you to adjust the 'false centre' of the stereo image. These controls are rotary switches, so once you've found the setting that suits you it's possible to return to it every time. Speaker Angle enables you to further control the stereo width of the signal so that you can match the width you prefer to hear from your speakers. What the Crossfeed control does is to feed some of the left signal to the right, and the right to the left, utilising tiny delays so that the resultant stereo image remains more natural, allowing our brains to decode it successfully. The two knobs on the left are labelled Crossfeed and Speaker Angle. Hardly surprising that it sounds this good then! Tweakingīeyond the astonishing quality of the amplifier itself, the real treat with the Phonitor are those three extra knobs on the front panel. With users such as Bob Ludwig at Gateway and Simon Heyworth of Super Audio this technology is very much at the top of the tree. The principal is based around the fact that higher voltages in audio circuits give increased headroom, lower distortion and enormous bandwidth. The Phonitor utilises SPL's 120v technology, which it developed for its mastering systems. ![]() Incredible depth and clarity, not a hint of distortion and detail by the bucketful. Switching over to our Sennheiser HD580s, which are our favourite 'listening' cans, we were even more impressed. We plugged in our old Hear Safe Big Phones (specially designed closed cans to minimise spill when recording), and we've never heard them sound better. The first thing we did was hook the Phonitor up to a good-quality CD player and listen to it as a straight headphone amp. The headphone output is one stereo 1/4-inch jack on the front. The front panel has two retro-looking meters for left and right, eight switches, three small stepped knobs that control the stereo image and a big continuous volume control. The power and earth lift switches are also located at the rear. With its vented metal casing and retractable legs, it's reminiscent of a small oscilloscope.Ĭonnections are on the back panel and consist of two XLR inputs and outputs and an IEC mains input. Our first impression on taking it out of the box was that we were looking at a very high quality piece of lab gear.

If you're looking to make lots of video calls, upload lots of large files to the web or anything else requiring sturdy upload performance, then upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 hardware should be high on your list of priorities (assuming you haven't already made the jump). None of them failed to deliver a usable upload connection outright, though the D-Link EaglePro AI came close with single-digit upload speeds in the basement's farthest reaches.Īnother key takeaway from these tests is that Wi-Fi 6 delivers some of its most noticeable speed boosts on the upload side of things. Uploads were another story, as all of the extenders struggled. Meanwhile, in the basement, our top picks from TP-Link and Linksys (as well as the high-performing Asus RP-AX56) were each able to keep download speeds above 100Mbps, which is great. With Wi-Fi 6, we barely saw any issues there at all, save for the Netgear Nighthawk X4S. Each of the five extenders struggled to keep uploads speedy in the upstairs dinette, for instance. Things get interesting here - you can see a greater gulf between download and upload performance, as well as some more distinct weak spots and dead zones throughout the house. How did the performance look with an older Wi-Fi 5 device from several years ago?Īgain, this is average download speeds by room on the left, average upload speeds on the right - this time, to an older Wi-Fi 5 device. The D-Link EaglePro AI struggled a bit with upload speeds in the basement, but still kept things above a minimum of 20Mbps or so. With all of them, I had a faster connection throughout the house than I had when I connected through the router alone. So what jumps out? First, all five of these extenders did a decent job of boosting speeds in those last four rooms, down in the basement. All of these speeds are to my Wi-Fi 6 test device, a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop from 2021. On the right, you're looking at the average upload speeds. On the left, this first set of graphs shows you the average download speeds by room for each extender I tested. All five models I tested were able to deliver noticeable improvements to the connection, but some did a better job than others. You can use the LED On/Off switch on the rear panel of the router to turn the LEDs on the top of the router on or off.These graphs show you the average download speeds by room (left) and average upload speeds by room (right) for a Wi-Fi 6 laptop connected to each extender. The WPS LED blinks white during this process and then lights solid white. This button lets you use WPS to join the WiFi network without typing the WiFi password.

Adjust seasoning with a bit of salt if needed.Īfter the rest, carve your chops off the bone, and then into 1 cm slices, seasoning them with a bit of that good salt, and spooning over a bit of the pan sauce. To make a quick pan-sauce, deglaze the good bits in the pan with a splash of white wine. ![]() Use for roasting vegetables or potatoes, or for cooking eggs, or mushrooms. Make sure you save the fat in the pan! It’s too delicious to waste. Rule of thumb here is 5min per inch of thickness at least. Once they’re at temp, take the chops out of the pan and let them rest. Turn and baste until the chops come up to medium. You want it to be pink and warm throughout. ![]() Keep in mind the edge of the chop will be more cooked, and it’ll be less cooked by the bone. The temperature will rise due to “carry-over” as the heat from the exterior works its way into the chop. We’re looking for an internal temperature of approximately 130☏, or 54☌. Be cautious about overcooking at this point. Basting allows you to direct the hot fat to areas of the chop that didn’t get direct heat, especially the bone.Ĭheck the internal temperature of the chop. Using the same spoon, baste the chop with the aromatized fat. Once they’re crackled and crispy, use a spoon to put them on top of the chop. They’ll frizzle and crackle, aromatizing the fat in the pan. Turn your temp down, so the chop and the fat in the pan don’t scorch.Īdd a bit of the reserved pork fat, and toss in the thyme, bay leaf, and cracked garlic. Put the chop flesh-side down in the pan and sear. Wait for the pan to just barely begin to smoke. Pour a little of the rendered fat into a heat-proof dish. Most of the fat cap will have disappeared, and the layer of fat will be crispy and delicious-looking. Once the fat is mostly rendered, and has begun to turn golden brown, remove the chop from the pan. 2-3 sprigs of thyme, 2-3 bay leaves, 2-3 garlic cloves, cracked on the cutting board (skin-on is ok). While you’re waiting, get your herbs & garlic ready. Move the chop a bit if you need to get the fat cap rendering evenly. If you hear sizzling, or if the fat is beginning to crisp or turn brown, turn the heat down. It is important to allow this to happen slowly. The fat on the chop will begin to render out. Let it come up to temperature very, very slowly. If it won’t stand up on its own, use a couple pieces of potato to hold it up (they will be delicious when they’re done). Place the pork fat-side-down in the cast iron pan, cold. Gently press the salt & pepper into the meat & fat. Season well with salt & cracked toasted black pepper. Don’t score too deep, but make sure that the fat has been cut all the way through.Ĭover with a piece of paper towel, and allow to come up to room temperature (at least 1 hour). Make a cross-hatch pattern, about ½ cm wide, cutting all the way through the fat down to the flesh. Using a sharp knife, score the fat on the outside of each chop. Remove the fabric bone guard, and place them on a rack (or on a plate or paper towel). 1 hour before you intend to cook, unpackage the pork chops. ![]() Some woman can tolerate high risk foods with no issue, but I was unlucky and certainly don’t want to go through it again. Following this experience I am now vigilant and will not eat high risk foods. The doctor advised me to stay away from any shoots and if eating seafood prepare it myself. I was so angry at myself as I know the risks but took the chance anyway, even though I tried to take precautions to try and minimise the risk. The Dr explained our immune systems are suppressed when pregnant and food poisoning is quite common during pregnancy. Expecting mothers shouldn’t eat undercooked or raw sprouts because there could be a risk of infection with bacteria including Salmonella, E. It was dehydrated and lethargic for a couple of days afterwards. by Saumya Malik Bean sprouts are nutritious and are healthy vegetables to add to salads and various meals. As I wasn’t keeping fluids down I had a saline drip inserted to hydrate and they kept me in emergency for 5 hours until I was feeling better. I was paranoid and asked them to test for Listeria, but given the quick onset and type of symptoms the Dr was certain it was food poisoning but tested my electrolytes and inflammatory markers as a precaution - all bloods came back okay. I told the Dr what happened and she said that while I was so worried about the prawns being cooked well, it was most likely the bean shoots as they are often not cooked for long enough and have high risk of carrying E.Coli and Salmonella. I told hubby we need to go straight to the hospital as I started to worry about listeria. 3 hours after dinner I started to feel sick and vomited violently, I went to sleep then woke up a two times in the night vomiting and by morning I had diarrhoea. The meal arrived and the bean shoots looked quite soft though the prawns looked a little underdone so I asked for the bowl to be heated up for a couple more minutes, and it came back looking pretty perfect. ![]() When you prepare your list of super foods during pregnancy, you want oatmeal at the top of your list. To reduce the risk: Avoid eating raw sprouts of any kind. 10 Must-Eat Super Foods During Pregnancy Oatmeal: Eating oatmeal for breakfast is one of our favorite ways to kick off the day Oatmeal is cheap, simple to prepare, and is great for your health. I ate a seafood curry laksa at a restaurant and I asked for the prawns and bean shoots to be well cooked. If pathogenic bacteria are present in or on the seed, they can grow to high levels during sprouting - even under clean conditions. I was actually hospitalised a couple of weeks ago at 13 weeks for food poisoning. I have a very strong stomach (hubby calls me ‘iron guts’) and known to avoid food poisoning when hubby and I ate the same food, yet he was very ill. If you haven’t felt sick since eating them, I’m sure you’ll be fine. The app starts with a free trial period when you sign up for a subscription.
