Yeah, either the 200 watt or 400 watt speaker. Worst case, you sell the EVM and put either a new Eminence Delta Pro 15a or Kappalite 3015 in there.

And as documented on other thread the EVM is infinitely self-repairable which is nice

Nobody should have this as an excuse. My notes on electric guitar action say .010" and .024" action (treble and bass side) at the first fret. Can be approximately measured with a high E and a D string from a standard 10 gauge pack.
That's a great "functional guitar player" way of coming about it. I feel like if you're going to far as to have files to cut your nut height properly you should probably buy feeler gauges. I have a thing with small super useful tools like that - I love them - I have four sets, I'll keep buying them and leaving them places

As a network engineer, making your own is only done in critical situations where you don’t want slack, or as hazing when you hire someone new and want to be an asshole.

What you do want to do is terminate your through-wall cabling on jacks mounted to faceplates or surface-mount “biscuit” boxes. Don’t just pass cable through the wall and terminate it with a plug. Anyway, for a brand of jack and faceplate, you want Hubbell.

Whatever premade cable you buy, don’t get it with boots on it.

Thanks for all of that. This is actually not too much about running cable to wall plates (which I agree is of course the proper way to do it). My home network/smart home setup is more complex than what is typical, and I prefer wired to WiFi whenever possible. Mostly looking at fairly lengthy runs to PoE devices…wireless access points, a couple cameras, etc. as well as short patch-length cables to keep the rack a bit tidier. I’m not super interested in running out to buy a new cable every time I need one, nor do I really want a big stockpile of cables. I’d much rather measure off a length of cable, cut, and terminate as needed…I rather enjoy making cables, actually.

Less network engineer, more VDV technician, I guess is how I’d put it.

For long runs that aren’t in danger of being flexed much, get solid core cat6. Make sure your RJ45 connectors are designed for cat6, because the cat5/e ones will be hard to work with when using cat6 cable. I’ve had good luck with Cable Matters for finished cable.
