This does make sense to me as I've heard the same recording on different systems where one system had me struggling to listen and the other had me tapping my foot in pure musical enjoyment. Enjoy, TIC

An audio system can't have PRaT on its own. It is amusing to me to see a system described as having PRaT, how could this be?
