I have a Musical Fidelity NuVista CDP and NuVista M3 Integrated amp. Both these pieces are wonderful, but both came with bargain basement, butt-ugly remotes. The amp remote works ok most of the time, though I don't get too ambitious with it. The CD remote works kinda sorta, on every other Wednesday, as long as I push the buttons OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Cussing helps. And I need to be within 6 feet of the CDP. Yes, I have replaced the batteries, and cleaned the contacts and cleaned the sensors and made sacrifices to the audio gods.
I thought I could solve this problem, and reduce two remotes to one in the process, by purchasing a Musical Fidelity universal remote. I am not sure why I thought this would be a good idea, because of course, I now have ANOTHER MF remote that doesn't work so good. At least I only have to cuss at one remote now instead of two.
I don't get how MF can make such fabulous and attractive gear and then include such bad remotes. Everything is a trade off in the audiophile world, I suppose.
