I didn't, but I did try a few different cables, and noticed significant differences in the waveform - not enough that I'd expect bit errors under normal circumstances, but with a longer cable run it could matter a lot. The thing to keep in mind about jitter is that it is not just a horizontal (time) issue - it's as much a function of vertical noise affecting the point at which the input senses a transition, (there is no such thing as a square wave)... better, higher bandwidth cable will have a sharper transition, meaning less of a window during which noise can move the transition point. Anyway I'm not trying to debunk everything, but just get a clearer picture of where improvements are feasible. If you really think the purple marker will help, I can give it a try...
