MF Nu-Vista 3DCD

Hi, all.

Just received my MF Nu-Vista CD player and it really IS a smokin' piece of machinery. Much different that the Cary 303/200 I had and more pleasing to my ears.

It uses a Sony CDM14 transport and I was wondering whether anyone knows if there's supposed to be clicking when: (a) tracks are changed manually/via remote; (b) a track is repeated; and (c) when the last track finishes and the disc ends. Also, is there supposed to be a small cutout on the bottom plate just under the transport? - seems that it's there to provide cooling as well as to give room to a certain part of the transport.

Also, if a nu-vista tube(s) needs to be replaced, what tool would I use to lift off the case and how would I know which tube needed replacement?

Anyhoo, since it's been only one day, I'll take some time before posting a review. What I CAN tell you is that soundstaging is phenominal (very, very wide) and it really does make crappy CDs sound good - Examples: The Doors first album (crappy even when remastered) sounded very good - also, my real reference is the tune "Immigration Man" from the first Nash & Crosby album - it had ALWAYS sounded thin and tinny UNTIL I played it on the Nu-Vista - the vast improvement in sonic quality was shocking.

I'd appreciate any assistance regarding my questions above. Thanks.
