Coolest song I ever heard!

A couple months ago,,,,,plugged vacuum into kitchen wall outlet.  Dead outlet with no warning.  2 plugs on that wall both show dead.  Original 30 year old contractor grade,, so I replace with commercial grade.  Still dead.  One plug is end of circ... 
Modern Covers of Classics
The Cleverlys….bluegrass arrangements of contemporary music.  Great musicians, great voices, great arrangements.  Totally unique.  And they blend in humor.  Very funny at times.  Check out YouTube videos.  Bluegrass cover of “Owner of a Lonely Hea...

The last 2 mornings, it been mid 50’s outside when I wake up!  Kansas in August!  Windows open, AC off.  Nice  
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
I have a very small floor fan @20 feet away (on low, circulating that cool air),  and a hepa filter on low @ 10 feet away.  You’d swear you can’t hear them while running.  BUT,, put some music on,, then turn air movers off.  Huge improvement in cl... 
Add a subwoofer?
Great info.  Thanks to everyone.  This will be a journey.  And moving furniture a bit I’m sure. Very cool stuff   
Hemi Sync Recordings
Monroe Institute is real deal.  Tones alone worked for me-not imbedded in music.  Long story distilled down…@14 years ago I suffered a reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus.  Auto immune response demyelinated peripheral nerves in legs and feet.  I wa...

Primaluna signal tube replacement
All great advice. Thanks.  Especially the “reseating” comment.  I think I’ll work the originals back into those slots and see what happens.  I tend to overlook the simple stuff sometimes.  I sure love this amp.    
What is your most fond musical memory.
August ‘72 ,, Leon Russell at Municipal Auditorium in KC.  Great great show.  After the concert leaving in traffic .. stopped at the light in my ‘64 beetle,,with my future wife by my side.. clear hot Midwest summer night,, concert foot traffic cro... 
Primaluna signal tube replacement
Hey thanks for that.  I swapped speaker cables and the scratchy moved with it.  My spares were Primaluna and the noise vanished.  So,, replace my spares now.  Voodoo      
The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded.
Whiter Shade of Pale—Procol Harem,,lyrics and that                                       cadence And Your Bird Can Sing—Beatles,,,my favorite Beatles song I’ll think of more shortly.  Long list when other’s mention a good one      
Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding
I always worked 4-12 in the ER.  I would often listen to KXTR classical radio on the drive in.  The DJ was the greatest.  Played an eclectic bunch of music.  One day he played some Django Reinhardt.  I actually pulled off the road to listen.  Stil...
