D'Addario Dynacore/Titanium T2 strings

Back into the foray of string tryouts, I had a couple of these normal tension sets laying around and have had them on for the past few weeks. Long story short, I don't like the T2 trebles. I could see how some might as they aren't as thin feeling as carbon, are brighter than nylon, but they feel springy/spongy and somehow artificial. I don't know how to describe it but it's just not right.

The redeeming part of this set, and I can only hope D'Addario starts selling these as a separate set (they do not currently), are the Dynacore basses. These things have some stout power and projection. They are not as dark to me as pro arte basses have a very snappy and strong feel to them. They also have not died off at all since I put them on. D'Addario claims the winding technique increases string life and they may be onto something.

No such thing IMO, any string can be used for flamenco or classical. They are marketed as classical strings per the packaging.

Don from D'Addario Strings here - we hope to have the Dynacore basses sold separately by late 2013 or early 2014.

I agree that they have these three qualities, and I like all three, the springy feel to me is good, and not really "spongy" or "artificial"
the basses sound better to me than the ordinary pro-arte, and last a lot longer
if the basses were sold separately I could buy extra sets of basses to change more often.

I buy sets from stringbusters.com in the UK,

http://www.stringbusters.com/Ko-Bespoke/productlist.asp?cat=1/CLASSICAL%20STRINGS/CLASSICAL%20STRINGS%20DADDARIO

they sell the trebles separately (on the single strings page) but they don't have sets of basses only

These are one of my favourite strings. Last long, feel good, and it give my blanca a LOT of volume. Not like the D'addario's Flamenco set. THAT feel/sound artifical...

If we are talking about the EJ45TT i did a review a while back on 2 different guitars played equally badly ....and put them through a frequency analyzer thing to see what came out , for comparison ...

Why do you feel the need to flame those strings? What's your point with those graphs?

I have them on my guitar at the moment and they're among the best I've used, really like them.

Had they given me a load of free sets to try, I would at least be polite towards their product.

You're coming like "the ultimate flamenco guitar player with his 2 holy grail guitars and a software analyzer".

Iam OK with that but to me this is more innapropriate than all the sexy talk put togheter.

Oh, you meant that you played the guitars badly. Thought you were saying the strings played badly on both guitars.

Sorry.

One cant be polite or impolite , you just have to be objective ...state clearly and concisely what there is to state as you yourself see it ...thats all ...

Perhaps it's not for you, thats OK all the reviews in the world wont make your own strings/guitars sound any better or worse... and so life goes on as normal ..

At the time they were kinda new to the market and D'Addario wanted them out there and known more. That's all I have to say about that, Forrest.

I trust you were wearing your goggles and head wear whilst using your high tech sound graph machine Kiko , or is that how you lost your tooth? Explaining such accidents can sometimes be tricky ....its easy to upset people if you are a little too graphic!!

P.S. I really like you in that shade of blue!
