Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista

Thanks Chuck and Rex. When I was comparing players I never had a chance to listen to the Sony. I just wanted to make sure I was not missing out on something. Your descrition of the Sony sound confirms that I made the right choice. I appreciate your responses.

Here is another question just in case a Tri Vista owner checks this thread again. I bought mine used and it may or may not have a problem. When I close the cd drawer by pushing the button ( not pushing the drawer) there is a hesitation for a second or two before the drawer starts to close. I hear the drawer motor start, but nothing happens right away. When it does start moving the action is smooth and solid until fully closed. Do other Tri Vistas do this?

Can anyone help with the CD drawer hesitation question?
