"Please explain how an amp alters either Pace, Rhythm or Time."
Thought I did that, to an extent. Another shot: having microdynamics that do not slur attack and decay.
But I'm no electrical engineer, so won't pretend to play that game.
Anyway, some amps -- Naim in particular -- are famous for having PRaT, and are even (with Linn Sondeks) the source of the whole concept. I think what PRaT refers to is essentially pegged to whatever it is they do that people identified in the sound and called "PRaT. Not sure what it exactly is, or what they do that accounts for it, but whatever it is, it's PRaT", and Naim amps do it. Krells and CJs, in comparison, I gather, don't.
