Juergen, I think until now it was all modest and friendly.

All points recognized and accepted.
It turns out that (of course) "taste" is  much involved.

I like tea, you like coffee, Bud likes beer (just a joke ;->).

It is pointless to discuss taste.
De gustibus non disputandum.

I don't exactly understand what this last sentece means.

I have made the experience that I'm not able to decide between steep or
flat lp slopes above say, 15-16kHz. I'm not very sensible there,
I can hear something, but it has no real tonal characteristic,
and higher frequencys really sound identical to noise.

I would not hesitate to use a 1dB Chebycheff lp filter with Fc=17kHz.
I just can't decide between Bessel and Cheby there.
The impulse response looks ok for both filters, if the signal
contains no high frequency stuff above say 10kHz.

>From these experiences I cant't really see what is the bad thing in 
20kHz hard-limited (via decimation filter) CD-Players.
