I like the E string, been using the Gold Label E for several years now without any real want to change. The gold plated stuff is interesting but the plating lasts about a week, then after that it just looks nasty and sounds off. Haven't tried the other strings and didn't ask him about them but if I remember when I go the next time, I will. He has very good prices on strings, similar to the cheapest online prices I can find, so I bought another two sets of Vision Solos.
