Can anyone give me an idea about the Live Strings? Been buying from Bobbe, really like them, and locals don't carry them.
Any good/bad reviews?

You really ought to post in the correct category. With recent revelations, a post ilike this in the Gone Home section is likely to upset a lot of folks unnecessarily.

I am having very good results with Live Steel Strings.
I'm getting the best tone out of the high 3rd than I've ever gotten.

No need to apologize. Many threads posted on here are on subjects already discussed. Searching for old topics is a real pain in the butt and often yields so many results that are unrelated to your search. Go ahead and post your question. Different people will chime in on your thread that didn't post on a previous one, and some even change their minds on a subject. If there are previous posts, someone will bring it up and ask you to do a search. Some even go so far as to post links to them.

I really loved Jagwires, but when I couldn't get them, I switched to Live Steel Strings,and have never looked back. Great strings.

I just put my first set on a few weeks ago and just loving them. No breakage, but mostly they just have that new string ((((ring)))) to them. Best I've tried.
And a plug for bOb and the USPS, and buying them through the forum. I ordered them in the early afternoon on a Thursday from the forum website,hoping to optimistically get them Monday. They were delivered in the mail the next day ,early Friday afternoon! How does he do it? Winking

The web site seems to be a little short on information, or maybe I just don't know where to look. How do you decide between "Cyrogenic E9 Nashville Nickel" and "Cyrogenic E9 Standard Nickel". What's the difference?

I can't find any detailed product descriptions.

I find their website dreadful (characterized by lots of flash stuff that doesn't really do anything more than look flashy, and all instances of the phone number are in graphics, not a single place to copy and paste, but there's more), but their phone service wonderful.
I'll bet that the difference lies in a different gauge string or two.
Give them a call, they're really good on the phone. And I like their strings.

Woa I am using Live Steel strings and my high third string sounds almost dead. I have changed it but still sounds almost dead. What could cause that? Is it the guitar (Zum) or the strings?

I'd look for a little bit of schmutz on the arc of the finger. 90% of the time a string thunks when the rest sing, I find there's something under the string. Once, a small piece of lint did it.

In the suburbs of DC where I grew up, Yiddish was as common as spaghetti: I think there were 6 Jewish families on my block alone (including my next door neighbors)
English is GREATLY enhanced by yiddishims. Of course, the Marxes and Youngmans didn't hurt either.
