I think we'll just agree to disagree, and clearly we're not all that far apart. I do think that it is a sonic element related to the playback equipment and not simply a matter of how well something reveals what's on the recording. For example, I think prat is one of the significant advantages that vinyl (specifically as opposed to analog) has over digital. I don't think that is because the digital lacks detail, sometimes if anything it has more detail and many would argue that it portrays the recording more faithfully than vinyl, but they way the sound travels and the listener feels the vibrations of the strings or the plucking of the bass or the stick striking the cymbal is completely different, and (IMO) it has more impact coming from vinyl. I don't think that's a matter of what's on the recording, it's a matter of how the signal is generated and transmitted to the listener.Anyway, no need to hash it out as I think we just disagree, but what I'm saying is at least an explanation of why people attribute what they describe as prat to a piece of equipment rather than to a recording or musicians.
