> Data is the same - If I ping my next door neighbor, from my broadband connection to his, it goes via London (my ISP's headquarters) and Manchester (his ISP's headquarters) before coming back to him, with a round trip latency of >20ms. In sound terms, that delay is like him standing in the next room over.

I feel like that would be enough to be basically perfect, though. If only we could cut down on everything else in the chain adding its own latency.

I think the rule of thumb I used to go by when recording myself playing guitar was that 20ms was a noticeable delay, 100ms was sort of tolerable and anything more than that was enough to make my picking lose synchronization.

I remember hearing 16 ms being the general threshold for most people recognizing out of synch audio.

16ms is also approximately 60 frames/samples second (hz).
