Zappa plays Zappa
I saw Dweezil on Conan a feww weeks back and he played 'Willie the Pimp' (from Hot Rats album) and he is incredible! Sounded quite a bit like Frank. I would see him in a heartbeat... ENJOY! 
Any high-efficiency bookshelf spkrs
FWIW the Stingray has a lot of power, much more than the 50 watt rating implies. I had one that drove Maggie 1.6s with ease to moderate levels! 
HDMI what to buy?
thanks guys!BTW mine is a Dynex and my TV is a Vizio with a Hughes HD250/10 DVR.I will look at the sites you mentioned... 
Tube amp speaker output 4 ohms VS 8 ohms
8 ohm should be fuller sounding but may not have the bass control of the 4 ohm 
Shorter or longer ICs?
what is the total distance you need to run them? 
803D vs 801N
agreed - the D is superiourthe N is a bit dry in the upper mids, the D is neutral in this area

Aguas da Amazonia is nice. It has a dreamlike quality, less noisy than some of his albums...

I like: Songs From Liquid Daysfun but still has the trademark Glass sound 
Beatles Love, should I run?
I bought the album today. The sound is terrific and the format is fine. The way they cut back the length of some songs and let others play thru or mix 2 or 3 songs together is tastefully done and fun. Yes I would prefer the original albums in all ... 
Beatles Love, should I run?

Gallo Reference 3.1; What integrated amp?
I know you want an integrated but what about a Quad 99 pre and 909 power amp with their current dumping design? A very highly rated combo with a deep tradition of quality. 
What are the treasures in your vinyl library?
Cmo-I was just reading in Guitar Player magazine that the Beatles recorded Sgt Peppers in two different sessions one for mono and one for stereo and they are a little different I imagine the same is true with the ones you mention.
