Well no...

The vibrato would not be more or less prominent because of the equipment used for playback.

I think it's fair to say that the concept of prat is a perception, as any two pieces of working audio equipment ought to be playing the music at a steady and consistent pace, and therefore the tempo will always be equally steady on any equipment. Prat as it is referred to is a matter of how pronounced the rhythmic elements of the sonics are perceived, and I said sonics not the music. A musician playing with good or bad time will be playing with good or bad time regardless of the equipment used for playback. But with whatever timing they have, when they play something on their instrument, how the rhythmic energy of the transients are transmitted can come across differently when played back on different equipment.

So when people are referring to prat they are not referring to the musical timing or rhythm, they are referring to the way it's perceived in the playback.
