  The Dyson is both quiet and expensive.  Oh, BTW, it does have blades they are in the base.
 I  KNUE IT!

Vornado is a brand that I have found here and their in the big box stores. Costco has them off and on. I still have one from about 15yrs ago. It blows air on me when I'm sleeping. I'm dont really like fan noise like some people do.

Greg,

They advertise it as bladeless. Like they manufacture the air.

Dyson is the biggest snake oil con artist their is. Its all high priced hype. A vacuum cleaner is a very simple device, but no, he has to have fancy schmancie high RPM motors etc, that dont pick up dirt better than any other average motor/fan set up.

Delirium from heat stroke will also improve musical appreciation, assuming you remember it.

I find a fan blowing the hot air out of a room generally works better, although a fan blowing inwards "feels" better with the breeze directly on you.

I would surmise temperatures as well as humidity level changes would have more of an effect on the body and mood affecting the ears sound processing abilities and thus the brains perceptions  than anything else....

Maybe your stuff sounds better when the "air" is off because the compressors put a bunch of crap on your AC lines that degrade the sound?  IMO, nothing sounds good when you're sweating and sitting in a pool of your own juice:-(

The Tick speaks the truth, but dont forget, Greg will tell you, "its a dry heat". You dont really sweat -  you just bake - like a frickin potato!

There's hope - over here, the crew showed up at 8AM this morning, cold air blowing out of the vents at 2PM. Hope your install goes smoothly...

Yeah, I am with Tick and was also going to add about the AC adding noise to the line... Probably a combo of all the things mentioned...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the advice.
I'd read about the Vornado fans and I'll probably get one of those and give it a try.

I used to work in a lot of nice homes and a pretty nice alternative to central air are those ductless systems from folks like Mitsubishi.
When I replaced my old window unit, I wish I'd gone the extra mile and installed one of these.

Just like Tick said, when I fire up my system on a hot day, I keep a basting brush with me.
