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

@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... 
Speaker cable recommendations for DeVORE FIDELITY
Congrats,the bananas sound better than spades, too. I tried both with wbt 0681 ags on the A23 wire and the bananas are more resolving
