    Want another fantastic recording? I picked up a copy of this at the RMAF after listening to a live performance by the quartet at the show. Great stuff if you like strings.

    Sorry - RMAF has distracted me for a few days. As a bonus, you'll get more than what I sent before.

    If your schedule allows, you should try to attend the RMAF next year - it's good stuff to see, but it's also great people to meet. Lots of industry folks talked about how much better it was to attend and/or exhibit than shows like CES (and the associated high-end audio show). A number of comments about how it was more laid back and the people are nicer. Each year I chat with some great designers and engineers, as well as audio geeks in general.

    I just bought the Haydin too.

    Here is another superb SACD: http://store.acousticsounds.com/brow...Title_ID=11960

    My impressions of the GTG were pretty much the same as everyone else.

    Damn, those 340s looked big after living with the Sierras for a while.

    I had the D5 at Curtis's and I listened to them at my house. They are beautiful speakers and they sound quite good. There just is not as much there as with the Sierra. Curtis, would you describe them as a bit laid back?

    They would be very easy to live with. It would have been interesting to compare them to the 340.

    Not laid back....but moreso not having the top to bottom detail the Sierras have.

    That's cool Curtis. The other neat thing about the IsoMike recordings is that the proceeds go to the college that Ray Kimber records at (in the case of the marching band ones, it is split between the high school and the college).

    Hi Brad,

    Still can't get the CD's to play. I am going to try and burn them on my PC this evening (my PC reads them but my CD players at home don't).

    I am listening to Lilit Pipoyan now --- good stuff. Very mellow and relaxing.
