I once attended a recital by Itzhak Perlman where he brought a Strad and a Guarneri on stage, alternated between them, and asked the audience to decide which we liked better. My decision: Perlman would probably sound good on just about any decent violin.
Follow Ups:
I stand corrected, it was Perlman. Still his comments on each were interesting.....Sometimes its not so much what the audience hears, but what the player hears.
I don't think he was too concerned with which violin the audience preferred. He was just explaining why he had two, which otherwise would seem strange.
In the video he liked both but he had a different description for the sound of each. Memory fades, but IIRC he thought the Guarneri was intimate but big and the Strad a more forward in presentation and he was not going to give up either instrument
