Well right you are thats why todays chips have equalizers and such. But then its all getting crazy complicated even though its in a itty bitty chip. My distribution is made of high quality television analog amps and I have in general made amplifiers and such with parts I can still easily pickup and solder to. But still I always do wonder about tinkering with a square wave dist system. Though I doubt I will ever actually do anything. KISS is the general principal. Regards Paul.
