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.

I have the Tri Vista and it has exactly the same hesitation that you experience.
I am a previous owner of Tri Vista and have encountered much more serious problem of disc reading problem. The dealer in my area who repaired my unit related that the motor requires different speeding in reading CD versus SACD and the unit apparantely has some problem in accomodating the variance. The unit did work very well after the repair but still I eventually sold my unit for sonic reasons.

I am inclined to think that the problem may not be an isolated incidence as the technican that did the repair for my unit told me that my unit was not the first that he repaired for the same kind of problem. A reviewer of hi end magazine also mentioned in one of his article that he encountered similar problem with his own Tri-vista. So consider yourself lucky if you are only having CD drawer hesitation issue.

Both are good SACD player but as a cd-player they are very average. Then you will miss a lot compared to many normal cd players.
I am awaiting the arrival of a used MF tri-vista 21 dac and will use my sony xa777es as a transport for cd and player for sacd. I will pass along my impressions in time
