[time-nuts] Thunderbolt distribution amplifier needed

I bought a eBay video distribution amp.   The bandwidth was not as good as
I liked but for some reason the opamps were run off +/- 12 volts.   Raising
the power to +/- 18V greatly improved the performance of the amp.   Many
video amp assume the signal to 6MHz bandwidth might not be ideal.  But on
the other hand some old studio equipment is grossly over engineered and
might be very good for 10Mhz distribution.   The good news is the today
analog video amps are cheap as dirt as no one wants analog video.
