Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems?

MF has had QC issues in the past. It is a shame that this company could not build a better SACD spinner.

It had nothing to do with MF, the problem was as Alex ( aplhifi ) explained above in the Philips FURORE chipset, and it wasn’t just with MF, but with Krell and Philips and a few others that use this chipset.
The chip had a self decay that started from the first time it was switched on and was doomed to fail, and Philips wiped their hands of any come backs. (good on ya Philips)
So do not go near any SACD players from that era, as they may have this chip.

I put up a thread on this back in 2007, don’t get burnt, value on any of them? $10 for scrap.

A friend has dragged his older Krell SACD Standard player It seems to have a problem

It’s the Philips FURORE chipset and it cannot be fixed, no matter what anyone is saying.

If you wish to confirm it and it’s an sacd unit, send the model and make and simple yes no email to Alex Peychev of APL HiFi
He’s was very disgusted with this Philips chipset product release back then and the way they handled them selves over it, and is probably quite over the whole thing by now himself. http://aplhifi.com/
He just happens to make very good dacs now himself also.

he’s actually a quiet member here, see if this brings him out, @aplhifi @aplhifi
