Nuvista Tubes - General


May I have opinions please on the pluses and minuses of Nuvista tubes versus vacuum tubes? Supposedly and from the basic homework I've done, Nuvista tubes purportedly offer high reliability, low microphony, low noise, consistency, and small size compared to their vacuum counterparts. So what's the down side?

Here’s a write up of the MF Tri-Vista. I own this integrated, and it’s quite nice. I have upgraded the fuses and interconnecting cables for nice improvements; more delicacy and ’air’.

It seems like there’s always a Tri-Vista, Nu-Vista, or kW integrated for sale at TMR.

I would agree that while maybe not the be-all, end all, they are a worthy consideration in the $3K range. Mine has bested the Joule Electra LA-100 preamp/Bryston 7B ST monos setup in my system (also nice separate components from yesteryear).
