Best of Germany!
Pay a visit to Keith Aschenbrenner at Auditorium23 near Frankfurt. You won’t find a man more knowledgeable then him.Also Scheu Analogue is a prime source for top rated turntables. In Duisburg you’ll find Acapella who build some of the best horn lo... 
Pimping your router
@brenn,the way I check is by using the Browse tab selecting ‘relating to you‘.There may be better ways.Sounds like your extender works gets its signal via wifi rather than power lines. I have good experience with a cheap Chinese linear Ps 
Pimping your router
As far as improving the router power supply: in my case it helped quite a bit. As far as as the FIOS is concerned: wifi network extenders as they typically use the power lines tend to be noise collectors and as such are not good for audio purposes... 
All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA?
Dual differential XLR is less prone to interference but can be a bit sluggish compared to the best single ended implementations. Single ended is preferred on purist systems based on SET amps from Kondo, Shindo, Audionote or Wavac. I guess the easi... 
Moderately priced DIN phono cable suggestions needed
Auditorium23, you‘ll be hard pressed finding better value for money in phono cables 
Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
@big_greg Unfortunately the article you attached confounds word- and masterclocks. The only masterclock in the sample is the Antelope 10m. A master clock controls internal clocks as well as external word clocks. Other than Antelope examples would ...

Short answer: it works. I managed replacing a very expensive Shunyata Sigma clock cable with two middling BNC cables without ANY loss in SQ. (hint: doubling up on the Shunyata for me was a bridge too far...) So pretty good vindication of the metho...

Thanks Doug,I was actually referring to a 20in BNC cable for a 10m clock, will report on that when I obtain the necessary y-adapters

I am not sure I understand the question: generally ethernet connection tends to be preferable to wifi in most instances albeit with exceptions. The Acoustic Revive filter is mainly beneficial to ethernet connections. 
Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
@eric_squires,as I said: spend $100 on a cheap Chinese clock to try it out. Pls don‘t confuse a word clock with a 10m masterclock.  
Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
I run an Antelope Audiophile 10m directly into a Zodiac Platinum Dac. Before buying the admittedly expensive clock I experimented with a cheap Chinese Ocxo clock bought on Alibaba, which very much validated the upgrade.The step up to the Antelope ... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
On a whim I combined A23 ICs with Artisansilvercables pure silver cables via fixed y- adaptors between a Zodiac Platinum DAC and a Wavac EC300b amp. The result was a significant increase in spatial resolution with slightly increased treble. The A2... 
Help me understand better solutions for ethernet
Given your circumstances wifi is likely the right answer. Just use a quality ethernet cable between the bridge and repeater. I hope you are hopping along again! 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
I use Symposium Svelteshelves with Rollerblock-like Final Darumas on carpet with very good results 
Turntable recommendation
Get a used Scheu Analog, the ultimate value for money
