again, without that filter the CD experence would be equally appalling
(maybe worst without the initial filter before the AD, and even with a DDD
disk, somewhere there will be a AD step unless you are listening to just a
digital synth).

If it gets you less upset don't think of it as a filter, think of it as a
converter from a position detection to a velocity detection system and the
reverse at playback.

Hold on a mo. We are drifting aware from my original purpose.
My interest is with High Fidelity and how best it can be achieved with
available technology.

Am I missing something? A simple 'no' would suffice if you believe it to be sound.
On the other hand, if you consider it to be flawed then a please tell me
where I am going wrong.

Recreating what was recorded is a pretty tall order - not least because
you don't know what it sounded like.

IMO all this fiddling about with filter fixation and pure technology is
an endless and expensive pursuit. I'd be thinking about speakers and room.

Then I'd think about a turntable :-)
