NO! Jitter does not always matter.
If you don’t know who Barco is, then claiming best ever for any projector is an embarrassing statement. Those CRT projectors you love. I was leading the team making what many believe we’re the best CRT projectors ever made. I was also leading the ... 
The Placebo Effect
Frogman, modern tuners are much more sophisticated than what you describe. They have been for 10 or more years. They are not perfect, but they are very good. Like any tool they are more effective in the hands of a skilled used.I would provide a mo...

So done with audiophile fuses
Isn't Wyred the company that took a state of the art modern AKM DAC IC and managed to turn that into a $4,000 DAC that just about matched a mid 1980's Philips based DAC in performance?

In the red corner, we have the amateur objectivists, who have brought their top high school level physics game, and a small but loud group of supporters.It the blue corner, we have the professional subjectivists, supported by a loud rancorous crow... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
