Re: So it only applies to rock/pop music?

I have no technical knowledge in this area but I personally perceive this as the lower resolution of CD losing the trailing edges (or decay)of musical notes/sounds. In rock/pop this prevents the notes flowing into each other, hence the apparent loss of rhythm. In classical it stops the complex sounds overlapping and therefore sometimes makes classical seem more detailed, but less natural. Ever go to an orchestral concert after listening to loads of CD's and your first thought is that the orchestra sounds a bit loose and jumbled? This is purely my own perception and lots will probably disagree.

And yes, Ozzie, I think it can be faked in the bass region - my Theta which was good at PRAT, was very bass-heavy in general.
