You are right, they do sound better...at least the ones that are in good working order. That being said there are strads and then there are STRADS! Just like everything that is handmade, no two are exactly alike and no two sound exactly alike. I would wager though that they are similar enough that if you came up with a quantitative method to assess them that they would all fall into more or less the same grouping and another violin (like a guarneri) would likewise end up in a separate grouping.
