Hi OllyIts not quite in your face, though Linn and Naim which pushed this concept had systems which were very forward
Its pace rythmn and timing
In its a combination of musical drive, an unravelling of musical lines which makes the various msuical/instrumental interplay more obvious or self-evident, and musical timing of the instruments, such that they all seem to be playing with the same metronome, with their attacks and comings ins and going outs preternaturally combined.
When you hear a system with and without it you can hear it straight away
Something vinyl seems to do very well, even in basic sytems, and CD in only great systems, in my experience from the past
But everything has to be working together, which i suppose is why linn/naim worked so well with this, as everything was designed to go together. I personally find Naim stuff a little too much this way, and their systems doesn't allow music to breathe and have "pause", but this is just a personal view
I am glad you have achieved this
I find DD TTs and Rim drives also have PRAT, no slow down in the loud or dynamic passages.
I find my BD doesn't unravel musical and rythmic lines quite as well, though haven't heard VPIs which apparently have PRAT in spades, so maybe not a function of the drive mech, but implimentation
But was only when I got a rim drive did I really understand what PRAT was!
