britguy -> Evaluating strings??? (Feb. 9 2011 22:40:52)

Are there any definitive ways to evaluate strings on your guitar? I have a new guitar that I'm trying to find the best string(s) combination, but I seem to have a lot of trouble in evaluating the different ones I try. By the time I have removed the previous set and strung up a new set I've forgotten what the previous ones sounded like - more or lessl. . . And the new strings always seem to sound so much better than the old set. I try to change every 3-4 weeks or so and try to keep notes on what make, tension etc. I put on each time. But I still have trouble deciding which set is REALLY the best for sound, handling, treble, bass etc etc. Its hard to quantify the feel and sound of guitar strings. Maybe recording might work? Although I'm not sure how accurate my computer audio programme would record my guitar. Anybody offer any advice here; are there any practical and definitive methods to evaluate strings on a particular guitar?
