Not sure what you mean by the big houses.  I tend to use JD Grandt and have
had no problems with mismatched unisons that I hear frequently on Schaff or
Mapes strings.  Similarly, Arledge I don't see a problem.  I'm more
referring to the magic of winding versus the importance of correct scaling.

[SNIP]...The rave reviews you hear about the magic of
string winding from GC or anybody else and how great their strings sound has
everything to do with scaling choices they make and not the mythical string
winder they have hiding in the back room.

We've been using GC for quite a while, and my sense is that the pairs are
more equally wound than strings from the big houses; therefore pairs match
each other better up the partial ladder. Apart from the scaling, I do hear
cleaner unisons.
