" Is there PRAT in classical or jazz?"

I hope so - or I'd find the performance kinda boring I expect.

Muaic is music, no matter the style, and while the notes played may be exactly the same - there's a world of difference between a given classical piece's performance by a world class professional orchestra and a small town amateur one. Also a similar difference between a top jazz or blues trio, and the kids down at the local bar.

And the key differences IMO are Pace, Rythm and Timing - and the overall consistancy of these factors between all the memebers of the group.

Now how it's important in hifi terms - technically - there can be many guesses. Frequency bumps in the response is a common one - regulation (or not) of the powersupplies is another - but lack of phase shift in the bass end is to me a vital contribution to great music playback "feel".from any music.

As a viny user, maybe this will help you understand it better:

A friend has recently changed from a Gyrodeck T/T (high mass platter, low power motor) to a Voyd T/T (low mass platter - three powerful motors) and reports a HUGE inprovement in PRAT!

Why? We can only guess, surmise, speculate...but he loves it!

Regards, Allen
