Yes, the 3D is a wonderful player. I have # 7 in the production run of 500, and I can truthfuly say that it is all everyone has touted. If you have CD's that are artfully and sonically crafted, they will glow... no, dazle you if played on the MF 3D. I'am so glad I ordered mine when I did, I think they are sold out of this production run. Enjoy the music as if you are there...
MF Nu-Vista 3DCD
Hi, all.
Just received my MF Nu-Vista CD player and it really IS a smokin' piece of machinery. Much different that the Cary 303/200 I had and more pleasing to my ears.
It uses a Sony CDM14 transport and I was wondering whether anyone knows if there's supposed to be clicking when: (a) tracks are changed manually/via remote; (b) a track is repeated; and (c) when the last track finishes and the disc ends. Also, is there supposed to be a small cutout on the bottom plate just under the transport? - seems that it's there to provide cooling as well as to give room to a certain part of the transport.
Also, if a nu-vista tube(s) needs to be replaced, what tool would I use to lift off the case and how would I know which tube needed replacement?
Anyhoo, since it's been only one day, I'll take some time before posting a review. What I CAN tell you is that soundstaging is phenominal (very, very wide) and it really does make crappy CDs sound good - Examples: The Doors first album (crappy even when remastered) sounded very good - also, my real reference is the tune "Immigration Man" from the first Nash & Crosby album - it had ALWAYS sounded thin and tinny UNTIL I played it on the Nu-Vista - the vast improvement in sonic quality was shocking.
I'd appreciate any assistance regarding my questions above. Thanks.
