Evah Pirazzi Gold has been my default choice of strings for years. It only takes a few days for the strings to settle and stabilize. As one of the most expensive sets of strings, these sound good for quite a long time, as do some other similarly priced synthetic strings, which somewhat justifies the higher price. Compared to other strings with similar price tags, with the evah pirazzi gold it is easy to switch between a soft and mellow tone and a powerful, brilliant tone, albeit the brilliance is a bit reduced compared to for example the original evah pirazzi or the vision titanium solo. The response isn't that great but in par with most brilliant-sounding strings. Highly recommended for playing with a lot of color.
