grandad Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thank you for that. After listening several times on headphones my old ears could only hear a very slight difference between them. How to describe the subtle variations I don't know. I'd say the D'Addario sounded brightest but not bright. The Fender and Rotosound were even/balanced. La Bella deep/soft. Thomastik were growly. Anyone else care to post a quick impression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Nah. Nothing. I'm obviously cloth-eared when it comes to flats. I've got 2 sets here and can't tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
