Disclaimer: This is my personal experience with my violins. Other violins might behave otherwise.
I started using Dominant strings in 1975. I was happy with them until I got the "maybe there's something better" bug. I went through many periods of trying other popular string: Oliv, Eudoxa, Synoxa, Obligato, Tonica, natural gut, Aricore, EVAHS, Golds, Blues, Reds, Larsen's Original, Tzigane, Virtuoso (these are quite good), and others. I've used the Heifetz, Oistrakh, and Kremer, setups...and many mixed combinations. Many of the NEW strings that come out have too much tension, squashing the sound...maybe they are louder or more piercing. But for MY VIOLINS, I keep coming back to Dominants with either a Gold Label E or Goldbrokat E. They are priced well, last a reasonable length of time, not high tension, and have a good dynamic and tonal range. At some point recently I decided to focus more on 'the music' and accept that I can't afford a STRAD and can't make my violins sound like one.
