   No, it won't. It will be more like 45 degrees for quite some   
   way above 20 kHz.   
      
   Another issue is whether distributed capacitance can have an   
   effect at these frequencies. I'm not usre I have any better   
   an answer for that than anyone else, but my suspicion is the   
   effect is probably not significant.
