I think it can be confusing if you think about some recordings "having" more or less prat. All recordings have a prat element, which I equate a great deal with the energy of the transients. The more energy in the transients, the more prominent the rhythmic aspect of the music and assuming the rhythm is steady that will be perceived as "pace". One piece of equipment may highlight that aspect of the sound more than another. On a given recording, the prat may be a make-or-break element, IOW the rhythmic energy is the primary redeeming quality of it. But I think any recording has that element whether it is the drums of a rock band or the bowing of a violin.Dave
