Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista


Can anyone compare these two players? I already own the Tri Vista and am very happy with it but, I keep wondering if the Sony offers something more. I do listen to SACD quite a bit.

IMO the SCD-1 modded by VSEI, Modwright, or Reference Audio Mods will murder the Tri Vista, and just about everything else.
I base my overall convictions about the SCD-1's potential on my own experience adapting RAM mods to the SCD-1 (silver transformer passive output stage & Audiocom Invisus voltage regulators & Superclock 3) & adding various other tweaks including full battery operation. This modified SCD-1 is several orders of magnitude above the stock deck & betters my vinyl rig (VPI TNT/Graham/Lyra Helikon/BAT VKP10). My thoughts on the Modwright and VSEI are echoed by various reviewers, particularly in the current issue of Absolute Sound. A Modwright 777ES is the preferred digital source in the cost-no-object Magico horn system profiled by Robert Harley.
