Ethernet cable? What kind?
The options are cat 5, cat 5e, cat 6, and cat 6a.The sweet spot is cat 6, rated for gigabit ethernet at least. Cat 6a is rated for 10 Gbps, although cat 6 might also be able to do it, but not guaranteed. Cat 6a is MUCH more expensive than cat 6.Bo... 
Best speaker choice under $1000?
My apologies to the original poster, I misread some of your music genres as "rap" rather than "R&B, little hip hop" although I think they are close enough that my recommendations are still valid.Zd, my suggestions include non-traditional (plan... 
Best speaker choice under $1000?
One good option would be an older Martin Logan speaker. As a hybrid electrostat it should offer the HF clarity and soundstaging you're looking for coupled with adequate bass performance for rap music.Another option is an Audio Physic Tempo, with i... 
Off the beaten track music you love
I enjoy a group called Era. My favorite is their eponymous album (Era). It is a unique sound that is oddly captivating.Definitely off the beaten path.Michael 
What pioneer component used a speaker with a chord
Rlwainwright, I'm surprised that you're not suggesting that he use an Emotiva amp! :)Michael 
CD Player pairing with Electrocompaniet ECI3
Ket, the advise of the previous posters (to not bother messing with a good thing) is wise. You would do well to listen to them, and either divert the money elsewhere or save up for speakers that might offer more of the sound you're looking for.Non... 
Recommendations for 5k upgrade
I agree with Lloydelee21, I think your source is your weak link. He gives some very good suggestions for good sources with detail. Maybe even a Bel Canto DAC or something in the couple thousand dollar range would be good.I would address the source...

Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?
I saw her in concert (with her band) a few years ago and it was awesome. Ive always loved the Mummer's Dance, but everything at that concert was great. I concur with your experience.Michael 
Scala Nothing Else Matters
A simple search of Amazon showed an album that could be obtained in CD format:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LSJCFG/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&s=music.Hope this helps.Michael 
Lab top or table top
I think you need to describe a little more about what you're trying to achieve, and why your iMac isn't cutting it.If you're just looking for something for music storage and money isn't the primary concern, I'd recommend getting a server-grade mac... 
Tube Amps from China
I echo the concern that a sub-$1000 tube amp might not be the best match for Magnepan's. What amp are you currently use to drive your speakers, and what do you find lacking that makes you want a tube amp?Some of the better-known amps for powering ... 
Best Tube preamplifier under $600
Your Klipsh speakers should be very easy for a tube amp (even a modestly-powered one) to drive. They tend to be very efficient and an easy load.Jhold is right on the money with his suggestion of going with a tube integrated. Something like a Jolid... 
If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp?
Tube amp, definitely.I feel the amp imparts more of the tube sound than the preamp. IMHO.Michael 
Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this?
For that price you could get a good preamp/processor with a separate multichannel amp, which would likely sound better than a receiver.Michael
