Similar comparisons have been conducted in the past with the same results. "Some" strads are supposed to be outstanding musical examples while others are not and appear to be quite average. There is a documentary about Steinway concert grands where a particular instrument shown being constructed turns out to be utterly amazing-sounding and many musicians try to get it shipped to wherever they are performing a concert. No one can say why "that exact sample" sounded
so wonderful. Lutherie is a bit different from electronic designs to compare the two disciplines. I personally like both tubes/SS/records/cd's as long as they're all done well with dedication to the end result. But it is kinda funny to see a 2million dollar price tag attached to an ancient violin that isn't all that satisfying to make music on.
