    Well, IIRC, TIs are the only nickel wrapped flatwounds. So that makes a difference. Although I was thinking more broadly than just flatwounds, since I don't like 'em very much.

    [QUOTE=Cunamara;1323681It would be interesting to study this in a blind hearing test; do people think these are the best strings because they are among the most expensive (and therefore, because we have invested heavily in them, are prone to perceiving them as being better) or because they really do have a "superior" sound that most peoples' ears would agree.[/QUOTE]
    Amplified tone, acoustic tone, feel under the fingers, gauge…I’ve found that it’s the combination of these that place a string in my “favorite/preferred” category with “amplified tone” having the least weight.
    The TI Swings sound way better acoustically than D’Addario Chromes on my guitars. The feel is nothing short of “high class”.
    Amplified tone on almost all strings always ends up sounding like me, good or bad…hehhehheh!
    Of course, my hands, my ears.
