Any way I could have damaged my speakers?
Easy mistake to make. Like Douglas says don’t make a habit out of it. Unlikely to have damaged anything if all sounds good. They can take more than you think.

How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle?
I agree with previous posts and most of all enjoy this great phono preamp.  I use my h3000 with a transfiguration proteus which has an output of .2mv, currently loading at around 278 ohms.  I have no issues at any setting though.  Also, tube rolli...

Nice!  Glad you like them.  They are consistently good cables and you will enjoy them even more with more time on them

Speaker Width?
Don't know if it's been mentioned in the thread but R. Vandersteen has a speaker placement method that works in my room.  Divide the width and length of the room by odd numbers and the intersection points are potential spots for placement.  Then c... 
Conrad Johnson preamp: ET5, ET7 (series 1 or 2) or ET3SE ??
@clearthink which ones have your heard?  With what components?You are obviously entitled to your take but the newer models with CJD teflon caps are anything but what you describe.And FYI not everyone listens to digital. 
What power cord do you like most on your amp ?
Wywires on my Classe or Macintosh monos.  It does a lot and very little at the same time.  Brings a level of quiet and refinement but does not emphasize any frequency like so many others I have tried.

I have been a CJ fan for years and currently own 2 models - a premier 14 and ET5 which you inquired about. The ET5 is airy, detailed, throws a wide clear soundstage with a very smooth revealing top end. I have used it with the stock EH and Philips... 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
@ketchup - heatsinks on the back, MI2 but have used 3’s.  I use Thiels.   Had the same problem with MIT V3 a few years back that we couldn’t solve.Have  used a dozen or more other cables with no issue.

That’s strange ketchup my ca200 goes into protection mode without the zobels.

You can't go wrong with either choice, in fact if budget allows buy one of each to really spend some time with them.Also, I agree adg101, buy a single wire with jumpers.  AP makes very reasonably priced jumpers BTW. 
Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component"
I love Thiel but having binding posts on the bottom of the speaker with legacy models is a major hassle when connecting cables. 
GO PATS!
The SB is so over hyped and over produced it is barely watchable anymore.  My only hope is big corp doesn’t do the same to college football.
