Did you buy more than 12 HTs with your RCT, or do have a later 
version than 3.0? There's  no read-me file with the bundled HT, so, 
although there may be a few matches between the generalized 
collection in the RCT and the one's that everybody's talking so 
familiarly of on this list. The only one which is recognizable is the 
Vallotti-Young.

It's kind of like we asked where's a truck stop where the waitress 
serves things particularly nicely, and the namedroppers in this 
thread (sorry gang, it's all greek to me) immediately start 
rhapsodizing about their own favorite waitress. Maybe some day, you 
and I will meet all these waitresses, but for now we'd just like the 
address of one of those truck stops. You know, so that we can 
actually go there. Maybe we've missed something, maybe it requires a 
CDL to go to a truckstop.

I think there's a much larger collection than what RCT offer's, a 
selection to be had by exchanging files (like, totally, mp3s, 
whatever).

It is possible to do these tunings aurally, although an ETD saves you 
the worry that the interval widths have not been compensated for the 
distortion of the local inharmonicity. Let me know if someone sends 
you a file or a chart.
