Whether it was to this concept of, "timing" that, "someone" was referring(or not), here’s an explanation of, "PRAT"(whether anyone accepts it or not): https://www.stereophile.com/reference/23/index.html (Timing is mentioned on the second page) " But it should be quite obvious that an amplifier can’t change the timing of music....", would be my stance as well, in the context of that article(ie: How tight a group might sound, in playback).
Amp "timing" ?
I was reading someone raving about the impeccable "timing" of their high-end amp this morning. I have heard this term tossed around several times recently in my dive back into highish-end audio.
Can someone please explain what is meant by this term? Is it snake-oil or confirmation bias? I just don't understand how a human can hear a timing difference of a soundwave unless it's a 2nd+ order reflection.
Thoughts?
