Two terms I don't understand - please explain


Hello...

I've read through this forum as well as forums on other sites and there are two (2) terms that I don't understand: "Slam" and "Prat" when discussing turntables, cartridges, etc.

Could someone kindly explain to this idiot what they actually describe?

Thanks and regards,

Jan

I agree more so with Rmn4's original description of slam, it is not so frequency related as stated. What about a rim shot? That is not bass but it's all about speed and dynamics. I also do not agree with Dcstep on the prat. I can name components that do not time very well but I risk offending people with them that are happy, for what?
