Prat is a 'flat earth'[1] term used to describe music sounding like music, not hifi. I believe the way the amp 'controls' the driver contributes to PRAT. I find the representation of bass lines through my EL84 PP UL amp to exhibit decent prat compared to receivers, but I've never heard a Naim system. When I went to the SB as source, I got an improvement in PRAT. I realized there were sub-rhythms at some points in songs I'd never noticed. Nos dac's are also said to exhibit better prat... I hate when audiophiles say 'so and so amp/cd player *really* got my foot tapping', because I find it impossible to truly listen without being completely still.
