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 
Pimping your router
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 ...

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 
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
@anton_stepichev,Hihi, you‘re dead on the money and I am loving it.... 
Pimping your router
A further addition at the risk of looking compulsive: move your router to a different power spur from your main system and give it proper power treatment: i.e. filter, better power supply and cable, better fuse. It never ceases to amaze me how sub... 
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
If people have qualms with the concept of directivity, I suggest they turn their fuses by 180 degrees. If they can‘t hear a difference, two options are available:1. get better equipment2. get better ears 
Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well
@minorl you make a very important point: the analogue section of a dac is actually a preamp. In most cases a simple attenuator will suffice to regulate volume to the power amp. Ideally therefore, the manufacturer of the dac should include analogue...
