Amount in picoseconds absolute? or relative to the clock of the signal? What amounts are important? Noise is a classic example. while noise is bad, if its 100 dB down, it doesn't matter because humans can't hear it. I keep hearing that jitter is bad, but what jitter is bad, or how much of what is bad? What can be ignored, because its below the sensitivity of human ears? > But 'good' and 'bad' are subjective things ... there is only really > 'better' or 'worse'. Then its not science.
