Inna's suggestion makes a lot of sense, and also, she is to be commended for correcting her spelling mistake. :)
Pbb's comments are likewise, sensible and on the mark. There are just too many variables in a good turntable system; to correlate particular audiophile subjective terms with different parts of this complex electro-mechanical system, I fear, is beyond the scope of mere mortals.
Why do we humans try to categorize and label everything imaginable? Damn, I hate that! The "If it doesn't fit neatly into this particular, narrow compartment, I simply can't/won't deal with it!," mentality.
But to answer Tweakster's question, PRAT, soundstage, clarity, and on and on, are all closely related to those parts that ensure speed-stability, freedom from undesirable resonance, and, perfect electro-mechanical integration and performance. Pretty much what Pbb said.
