Toscanini's steady fast tempi sound faster than others' unsteady even faster tempi. (My, that's a tongue twister.)

Headphones and speakers with an excellent midrange and excellent instrument separation without unpleasant peaks in the low and high end can make certain music sound slow by sheer detail retrieval.

The K240DF and CD900ST were impressive. The K500 and CD1700 were even better. Thing is usually it is a matter of moods and physical states. I prefer listening to albums with a fresh coffee. The caffeine rush and the state of relaxed alertness can lead to a unique bliss.

Pace, Rhythm and Timing?

Do you like Buddy Rich? He was quite the drummer  :)p8

P.S. You do have a point, slowing down the playing speed of the recording is more objective and you can hear it clearly.

Yup, when I played Quake 8 hours a day. It's like the Matrix.


Felt the same way. I loved that game.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Well spotted Anax... didn't make the link myself.
Excellent explanation for the PRaT phenomenon which I never 'got' because for me the Pace, Rhythm and Timing are always the same and simply cannot alter by any amplifier electrically !
The perception of it, now it seems, may for some people.

So PRaT awareness seems to change for some, not all people and may be affected by other factors as well.

I have read more than once that PRaT was a term a sales person at Linn came up with to sell turntables. Could be urban legend of course.

PRaT is very applicable to turntables whether you sell them or not. They weren't all keeping proper time for sure.

I was listening to an older Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with Max Weinberg the other day and he said he got his gig with the E Street Band when he answered an add for "Drummer Wanted.  NO JUNIOR GINGER BAKERS".
