how do you gauge and judge "timing"?

I read constantly around speakers and components having good "timing"

what does that mean exactly? how do I begin to try and ascertain timing?

Norah Jones and Diana Krall ain't PRATty...Listen to artists ortracks that are PRATty dude. For example, here's something PRATtier than boring Diana, Norah and that boring side of the moon, I suppose ... https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PG9DEaE1HXI&si=cFk-Kh4VnYueWbxD It shall also let you know if your gear is kinda PRATty or kinda CRAPpy perhaps. Just as a comment on PRaT. It is probably one of the most important characteristics there is in music. It is what involves you emotionally and makes you tap your foot an sway. It is also one of the most difficult to sense and identify.
