Need help with picking a system: Cary, Wadia, B&W
Ken, nice pairing IMO except for the 804's. If it were me I'd find another full range floorstander more suited to the V12R. Something alittle more efficient with an easier impedance load so you can run the V12R in blissful triode mode at 50wpc and... 
Please, DON'T TOUCH
Remove all doubt, pack it away & not have to be offending to your friends. It'll sound that much better to you when you fire it up after they vacate. peace of mind 
What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's?
Patrick Street, 3 Irish Times 3, a great album"In a Town this Size", Delores Keane & John Prine, she's a prizeOf course Van..."there stands the glass" might be fitting off his new Pay the Devil album. I heard he just played the Ryman auditoriu... 
New David Gilmour record:any feedback?
Odd man out-but I didn't think it was anything to write home about. Great to hear from him again after 22 years but just not my cup of tea this time around. I bought both of his other solo records when they were released & really enjoyed them.... 
Sensitivity in speakers
Coincident Super Eclipse would smoke with the Neo's. Don't just look at sensitivity, take impedance load into consideration as well. look at coincident & atmasphere websites for great insite into this subject. 
Triangle Antal Es and Thiel 2.4's
2.4's are not for everyone either. I bought a pair new after auditioning 2.3's in my home environment. I ran them with all the 'right stuff' (Pass X250, X2.5 pre, 306/200 CDP, Cardas Gold Cross, etc) & they were fully broken in. Problem was I ... 
Anyone heard the new Van Morrison, Pay The Devil
mihilli, i agree, neco's new one sounds alittle better but still has that exaggerated reverb-y overtone. 
Anyone heard the new Van Morrison, Pay The Devil
Yes...& have been looking forward to the release for some time. Gave it one spin & it's not bad as Cbucki states, "Playhouse" one of the 3 Van originals on the album is quite good. With a few more listens I'm sure it'll sound better. On an... 
Good Value & Performance FLEXIBLE Power Cable?
TG Audio SLVRS, for around 300 used are the best I have found...RIP Bob C, you were & still are the man 
HDCD 'best one box player' recommendations?
For the price, a used Cary 306/200 is pretty hard to beat especially if you're already running a tube pre or tube amp. alot of folks think it still beats the new 303/300. 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Alot of greats already mentioned but Antonio Sanchez of the Pat Metheny Group currently gets my vote. 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Any publicity is good publicity & I think this thread has unintentionally served that purpose. where do i place my order? 
Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?
Coincident recommends at least 18" from rear wall. 
best rock voices
Ozzy Osbourne is my choice for rock yet unmentioned 
Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET
Look into Coincident...email the owner/designer off their website & see which model(s) best match your amps. Made for tubes.
