These are all ways to try to describe something very subjective, namely the experience of listening to music on a particular system. Being subjective there's no one way to do it right, but I have to say that PRaT has always struck me as particularly bad description. Responses like the above don't help much ;-). Stereo systems can not have bad timing or pace or rhythm in any musical sense - they reproduce music, perhaps with some distortion and phase delay, but such delays are on a time scale much, much below the time scales of rhythm in music. One way to see that that is true is simply to listen off-axis and see what effect that has. I'm not saying there isn't something there that people mean when they refer to PRaT, just that the term itself is very misleading, to the point that it's quite possible everone using it may mean something different by it. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34379 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
