Hi slimkid Thanks for the honesty. PRAT is short for pace.rythme and timeing . PRAT is what playing music is all about , those who play music knows exactly what im talking about. the better you do this the more musical it simply is. Linn and naim are the 2 companys that takes this most seriously and getting this right is there Primary goal above all. Linns lp12 is the goodfarther of prat . Naim`s house sound are offen described as Happy tune. Many times when people ask what is PRAT the are cofronted with the statment try listend to a naim system and yo will know. Linn its tunefull, or tunedem And example , mark knofler´s done with bonaparte through my linn unidisk its just impossible not tapping your foot , it boggies, and is just so well tunefull. With the sb3 you still here it but its much less pronounced, the transporter are much better in this regard. I also owen linn amps and beleive me the are really somthing to it. The are so transperant , but iroinicly there are a sence of joyness to the sound no matter have bad the recording is. Dynamics are have asystem can handel variations of level in the music. Live music is offen very dynamic. Linn klimax amps wich i have are known to have HUGE dynamic headroom,but also extremly fast do to there digita powersupplys what that means is that the big moments in the music are rendered with enormous impact and drive. But if the amps are not also fast many times the music will sound heavy or overpowered if you will. In my system getting this powerfull klimax amps have resulted in live music like dynamics. What i means in every day music listning is that when you put new music on you never know what is around the corner in the music. The opposit could be your car stereo , where every thing sound pretty much the same. thanks -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41469
