They are noticeably less bright and clear however. But, compared to the shrieking squeaks I was experiencing through my amp it is a very acceptable trade-off. They go for $18 for a full set. Well worth it for an amplified situation. See my test recording link below. This test was done as equally as I could and it was not modified except for cutting and pasting back to back excerpts and the fade-ins and fade-outs. The d'Addario Dynacore strings are first, and the Recording strings (replaced basses only) were next. It's not like I really have to tell you though. It's obvious. Oh, and these are un-amplified acoustic recordings. One more thing...another track plays after the test but it is not part of the test. I don't know how to stop it between the recordings, but you can, and please do. https://soundcloud.com/zippychip/ej51-string-test [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
