Two terms I don't understand - please explain


Hello...

I've read through this forum as well as forums on other sites and there are two (2) terms that I don't understand: "Slam" and "Prat" when discussing turntables, cartridges, etc.

Could someone kindly explain to this idiot what they actually describe?

Thanks and regards,

Jan

So when we were all hanging out and boogieing to a transistor radio did that have prat?
"and perpetuates the widespread belief that audiophiles are a bunch of tweaks that don't know what they're talking about."

would that be the part about belt drives not having prat or dvd players that lose the beat?
