Oh and the latencies, the really minimal processing that a CRT does compared to an LCD means that input lag could be insanely low. Subtlely different to refresh rate, I always felt it was the gamer equivalent of audiophile grade speaker cables personally, but some people swear they can detect it.

    Don't forget the ultra audiophile who sources their own electricity to prevent the electrical grid noise from seeping into the audio

    Oh, I was going to say you know a higher grade of audiophile than I do, but then I remembered that no I have met one. He had installed what was in effect a powerwall with supercaps and was generating his own waves through. His speakers cost more than my car, individually. I want to say Palladium Studio References. Wow yep. Thanks for that little blast from the musty vaults of deep memory... Well a 10 minute conversation 20ish years ago and a lot of "Ohs" and "Ahs" at his photo album.

    Actually I am misremembering, apparently capacitors are bad for audio, so to get the best you have to have chunky inductors and circuitry to do powerfctor correction to get a PF of 1. I was remembering big chunky power conditioners that look like batteries but are actually huge iron core inductors. They get your audio equipment "closer" to the power generation, which "improves your soundscape". I'm sure he was using the stupid crazy priced audiophile powercords as well.
