And new builds win over antique ones in most extensive blind test to date.

In the same context (and as mentioned before): Common sense that tends falling for trends and myths may stop sipping sour wines, that some grand connoisseurs elected as `only pure´wine sometime in the eighties or so.
They are just sour, not tasty. Simply trusting one´s senses can make sense, occasionally.[8D]
-
That said, personally I still believe that aged tone woods / instruments do bring a special quality with themselves, provided the instrument having been a good one from beginning.
And I assume that there be physical reasons for such improving with age and use.
But my mind could be deceiving senses, and I shall on principle A/B to make sure about actual condition of an instrument.
Always vary of anticipation / prejudge / suppressed perception, yet now living in the epitome hemisphere of subjectivity / seeing how far blindness can go I trust the thought constuct before praxis less than ever.
( Sorry for Pidgin; hope you still get my drift on hyped violines, saur vines .... and much worse settled ignorant hell on earth.)
