We recently reported [PRL 82, 394 (1999)] large transport anisotropies in a
two-dimensional electron gas in high Landau levels. These observations were
made utilizing both square and Hall bar sample geometries. Simon recently
commented [cond-mat/9903086] that a classical calculation of the current flow
in the sample shows a magnification of an underlying anisotropy when using a
square sample. In this reply we present more recent data obtained with a very
high mobility sample, and reiterate that, with or without magnification, an
anisotropic state develops in high Landau levels at very low temperatures.Comment: 1 page, 1 figur
