Re: What makes a Rega Planet "Analog-like"?

I’m not good with technical rationale, at best can only describe what I hear. I’m not sure that PRAT resides exclusively within any one component, but the cdp (like everything) has some effect. I’m all over the place in terms of music genre, so it’s important to me that things can swing as well as seduce.

Using the same variety of cd’s can detect variation in the delivery of attack & decay. When there’s too much attack and not enough decay, it sounds too fast; reminds me of a child playing a piano solo, , for the first time in the school recidal…each note is played as quickly as possible (to get it over with) without allowing the previous note to decay. - Basie seems hurried, Krall sounds less syrupy and Norah sounds happy. Conversely, with too much decay and not enough attack, it sounds too slow; reminds me of same kid learning to play a song, read the notes, and find the keys at the same time or an accomplished musician who’s bored from playing the same night afer night.– Basie sounds boring, Krall too syrupy and Norah sounds morbid. Just right lets - Basie bops, Krall sounds S’wonderful and Norah sounds meloncholy (which is normal).
