Quality of construction on some speakers- namely Harbeth
I've been around Harbeth's quite a bit and never noticed construction problems. The 30.2s are midrange oriented but still have nice bass and good upper-end extension without being fatiguing. Play them with a tube integrated and you'll be very happy. 
Audio envy - dang!
@strayngsYou could email Captain and ask if he would cut them down and re-terminate them for you. That may be the better bet.

@lalitk X2 - what a blessing it is. 
Ethernet cables
Hi @thynameHave you compared the ET11 (the one you linked above) to the ET12? For some reason I have it in my mind the ET12 is the better of the Ghent cables but don't really remember why. What are your thoughts? 
Pimping your router
Yes, you have it right. ER = EtherREGEN by Uptone Audio. Excellent product. 
What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
@aewarrenNow that was funny!! 
How loud are you typically listening?

One Cord To Rule Them All
@lalitk+2 to lalit. Those who say you just need X gauge and your all good have never tried other power cords to listen how they effect SQ. I can tell you that the Mega 3 is better than any other PC I've tried. I certainly would not send it back an... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
@koestner I have an Audio Envy M3 power cord on my amp and it is so much better than the $1,000 pc it replaced. I will buy more AE wire later after a few other changes. Very good value for money.

@middlemassYou go it. To thine own ears be true. 
Ethernet cables
@antigrunge@moguls@thynameFor sure. The only science that definitively works is the trying of different cables to actually hear the effect on sound quality. Your ears are the only scientific measuring device you need.I have ethernet cables made by...

@lalitkSorry, I think I got you mixed up with someone else that had both the ER and the ENO.Yes, sort of. I run a 20' section of Cat 5e under my house from router to wall jack in my listening room. Then Supra 8+ to streamer. Also Supra 8+ from wal...

@anzaanimalclinicThanks for sharing your experience. 
Pimping your router
@lalitkAnd you liked the ENO better than the EtherREGEN if I remember right? Did you try the ENO with the ER? Reason for asking is that I have my ER with an SR4T powering it near my router, which is in a different room 20' from my system. Just won... 
RIP Lou
I mostly just bought records, then recorded them, either on TDK or Maxell CrO2 tape. I liked the Metal tapes too, but they were much more expensive for a teenage hifi kid. Vinyl-to-tape cassette just sounded so much better than a store-bought copy...
