Yes I agree 100%. You can try all kinds of new & interesting snare wires, but the OEM wires almost always sound best for that particular drum. Sometimes a cheaper drum comes from the factory with snare wires that are no good. In that case it makes sense to try other wires, to find the best sound possible for that drum. Also different snare wires will make the drum feel different. The response from the wires if thicker or thinner, different materials, more or less number of wires, will be felt as you play. So I say get the wires that make your drum sound and feel it's very best!
Most of those wires are .50mm. If you really want a comparison, try some Bibin .28mm symphonic wires. They're silky smooth and even feel different due to the increased flexibility. Your strokes go into the drum a little more than with .50mm wires.
Yup, BLACK BEAUTY, LM400 ,CARL PALMER all stock Generic Factory wires Are the best for ludwig drums. Most ludwig owners know that, same for RESO head.👍🥁
I liked the Puresound 20 strand the best.

I liked the OEM best. Makes sense.... great drum with years for Ludwig to settle on the best snare.
Nice Black Galaxy snare drums 👍

I liked the Puresound 20 strand and the Tama 42 strand.
Enjoyed this video and I thought the Ludwig wires crushed the competition.

Once the music cranks up you won’t notice a difference. The Puresound 20 sounded best to me on the side by side
