RE: Thresholds?

Jitter is jitter. Discussing which type it is is irrelevant and moot. Either type you mention can be heard. Most levels are perceptible, as this example clearly shows. There is no real threshold, it's not a signal, it's a state of condition of the signal. It manifests itself as distortion of the signal.

It's effects are also cumulative or additive. So system jitter will be added to the jitter on the recordings, so the relative differences in the recordings will still be perceived.

Where there is a threshold is in the resolution of the system to be able to resolve the details so they can be heard. A cheap budget system will not resolve jitter well (or music), where a more refined system will show its effects more greatly.
