I have owned the MF Nu- Vista 3D CD player for about 16 years. It is really a wonderful piece of gear. The sound is very "natural," almost analog in nature and is not at all "syrupy." Pretty good for a metal encased micro-tube.
As for the Nu-Vista vs Tri- Vista issue, my understanding is that there were a lot of problems with overheating in the Tri- Vista components. I have read a number of posts on various audio forums attesting to that. The Nu-Vistas were designed to stay cooler than the average tube, so that may explain MF's return to its use.
