@jastralfu *sigh* +1....that does sum it up, but we "still look to find a reason to believe.." .. ;)
What exactly is PRaT???
Ok, it’s like this thing and is associated with “toe tapping” and such. I confess, I don’t get it. Apparently companies like Linn and Naim get it, and I don’t and find it a bit frustrating. What am I missing? I’m a drummer and am as sensitive as anyone to timing and beats, so why don’t I perceive this PRaT thing that many of you obviously do and prize as it occurs in stereo systems? When I read many Brit reviews a lot of attention goes to “rhythm” and “timing” and it’s useless to me and I just don’t get it. If someone can give me a concrete example of what the hell I’m not getting I’d sincerely be most appreciative. To be clear, enough people I greatly respect consider it a thing so objectively speaking it’s either something I can’t hear or maybe just don’t care about — or both. Can someone finally define this “thing” for me cause I seriously wanna learn something I clearly don’t know or understand.

@immatthewj ....20' above it, 50 yards from the mudfield....slept through the night mostly, waking to heavy rain and the winds. Nil damage. We're on the 'wrong side of the tracks' from the Biltmore entry, west of the McDowell bridge. Everything betwixt was a sheet of clay-colored mud water...a leaning high-tension power tower (since replaced), the entry mentioned shattered... Power back in 2.5 weeks, water back a week later....it's nice not to have to flush with a 5 g. bucket anymore....(...surprises one how often you end up doing that...). Feel extremely lucky, and somewhat shell-shocked in some ways... Your city got torn into halves. Literally. Too many stories to tell here... Thanks for asking. ;) J

@bolong ...Re Cha-cha cha...."Fascinating, but you can't dance to it..." Dense....dwarf star alloy level, if speed read you will bruise one's brain... MHO, and I'm stuck with it. ;) @immatthewj ... It's been and will continue for quite awhile, an Experience. Yes, back to PRaT falls... ;) Hey, if what you listen to doesn't make you 'move' in some fashion, physically and/or emotionally, in yet another mho, you're listening to the wrong stuff. Ultimately, the means that you apply to create that grand illusion for as long as you love or tolerate it despite the bugs ignored to do so.... ...IS the Point. *blink* PRaTically guaranteed .... ;) 'ciao, J |
