What's the best beer? The best car? The reason there are many string libs on the market is because they all have different areas of strength and weakness, at different prices, for different tastes. The sound of VSL doesn't suit some people. Others swear by it. GPO is inexpensive and remakably well programmed. SISS has a lush sound many prefer over the dry libs.

My opinion is buy every single one and then you'll be covered for any situation, or at least as much as you can be.

(Except the private lybz from TJB) ;) , VSL, i think the main deference in those 2 lib(TJB/VSL). is the hall, EWSO as some very nice ones but the tuning is big probleme. Kuck Hunter for the price are very good but, a little on the noisy side, but again the price is ridiculus.

It's a babe magnet, but mine just sits in the garage. I and my chauffeurs are much more comfortable in the Rolls Royces, especially the older two of the five.

Really Nick? I always thought you were a Bentley man. :)

Personally I favor my helicopter, I don't care much for traffic. :D

I agree, helicopters are SO much more civilized.

True. Until they spiral into the ground in a firey ball of death of course.

And is had for only a million bucks...... ;) (do I have the right car?)

I'll take the Maranello personally, a grey one (shown below).

As well you gotta have a Bentley for those nice evenings out (we used to own one when I was a kid)

But you also gotta have the American rides, custom hot rod like this "Sting" (below), as well as a few bikes. Anyway, here's my "someday" rides. I'll need a big garage though. Oh well ------->

Bang for the buck ... Kirk Hunter Emerald and Kirk Hunter Virtuoso.
Just got 'em both and love the strings.
Very playable and sound great also.
Did I mention that they are ~ very playable ~ yup.

Sorry to add to distraction but I have to ask. If the guy is going "face forward", how is he getting the pedals to work?

Can a bike's drive mechanism be reversed?

Are you sure? Look at how straight he's going. No sign of worry about what he might run into. Good hand position, no sign that he's turned his head. Not likely to happen if he were driving blind. He knows where he's going.

Anyway, I just checked with a local bike shop and it turns out that you can reverse the wheel and pedal mechanisms so the bike can be driven in reverse. I guess it's done regularly by circus clowns.

I hope he's going backwards (with the bike going forwards). Rear wheel steering is really unstable!

....actually (after lot of checks ) i can say Sonic Implants.
Are the most "emotive" and the best organized.
Arco up and down also for the sustained notes.
Easy to organize. Despite of the modern "performantes" tools and incoming script the "legatos" patches are very usefull.
Right positioned in the stereo field. Right balance for 1-2 viole celli and basses. I think the best (IMO):)
