I'll definitely report back, Hawk, but having used the IsoTek for a few years now, I can say that it's a great disc to have in one's toolbox. Whether it's better or worse than the Ayre, I guess I'll find out with more experimentation, but regardless of which one comes out on top (if there even is a clear-cut winner), I'm now glad I have both.
BTW, how is the Nordost disc? I've never tried that one.

Class D amps don't seem the like the Ayre disc. I have no idea why.
Also, running both back to back seems to make things worse-again, I have no idea why.

That's bizarre that Class D amps don't like the Ayre CD. What exactly becomes worse in the Class D presentation after treatment? A friend of mine has a Merrill amp that he just bought, and he's looking for a burn-in disc, I told him about the Ayre, but I'm wondering now if I should loan him my Isotek instead.
Yeah, I generally don't run different break-in discs back to back. If I decide to change, I let a fair amount of time accumulate on the system before I experiment with the new disc.

I've tried it with 2 ICE Power amps and a (pair) of PASCAL based amps.
After using the disc, they tended to sound "off" for lack of a better term, a little muddled/confused. They definitely preferred the Isotek.

Everything seems to just open up a bit and get in tune.
