The Curiosity Project

In our HiFi series to date you have heard me speak about speaker cables and my thoughts on them. However, something I had never experimented with previously were power cables. Like many of you I had dismissed them as being an expensive luxury, in spite of this I have been using the Russ Andrews Power Cables and my god have they changed my HiFi game. 

Join us as we talk about the intricacies on power cables and whether or not they are worth it.

I have always been very vocal about my love of headphones and my views of the importance of having a pair of headphones as part of your HiFi system. However, with the paradox of choice that we now have what do we go for? Well, first and foremost we must explore and undergo some education and decide do we want to go with dynamic driver headphones? What are those? and what do I get to power my new HiFi quality headphones? 

In this episode we explore what a dynamic driver headphone is, our experiencing testing two of our personal favourites (in different price brackets) and some honest advice on how to power your headphones via an amp and DAC combo.

As I have mentioned previously, we try and keep the podcast as politically neutral as possible, however when we have things like the first presidential debate, well, we really can't help ourselves. 

Join us for a lighthearted, laid back discussion on the current political situation in America. 

We all lead stressful and fast paced lives, however the pandemic has provided an extra element of stress in to peoples lives. Whether it be job security, lockdown or loneliness we are all battling with something new. However how do we deal with this and are there any techniques to use to help make this transition to the 'new norm' easier?

We discuss techniques we use to help ourselves wind down and relax from a very stressful stint. ew also review how to indeitify indicators that show you are getting stressed out. 

Sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do. The brands we purchase from, the products we use and the services we enjoy. As the world is becoming more connected, information is becoming more accessible and transparency is demanded from companies we are moving towards a time where companies are now being held accountable to their environmental impact. We discuss why companies must be leading by example and a particular company who has produced a fantastic product that is doing just that!

As we embark on this productivity series we thought it only made sense to start off with arguably the most important part fo a digital set up and that would be the WIFI.

We explore how you can increase your internet speed and what kind of affect it can make.

We have always been huge propogators of physical therapy and really making sure that your bones and muscle is positioned in the correct fashion. Without that, unfortunately any training or sports will end up having a negative affect on your long term health. Of course, seeing a professional would be the ideal course of action for physical therapy but now there are numerous ways to treat yourself. 

In this episode we discuss the interesting world of percussive therapy, how it has worked with us and what equipment we have been using!

Unfortunately, regardless of the rise in popularity of yoga it seems as though (particularly amongst my fellow men) that yoga is severely misunderstood. Since we are both regular practitioners of yoga we wanted to discuss our experiences, what yoga means to us and what purpose it serves in our lives.
