That is even scarier.

It is a fluorescent display. Some DAT's and CD players have the option
to turn off similar displays with a similar gain in quality. No
soldering is required to remove that display, a couple of screws and
pulling a connection. Not scary.

It's scary. Yes, all the Radio Systems mixing boards have the same problem.
Yes, if you change the bargraph on the front of the Broadcast Engineering
FM exciters from line to dot mode the distortion drops by an order of

But it's NOT acceptable in a well-designed product. My mother always said
that just because other kids did it, that doesn't make it right.
