Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems?

I am starting this thread for my friend who bought this Musical Fidelity Tri Vista SACD player as used two years ago. Now the transport mechanism and also the servo board (we think) are broken. Does anyone know if there still is some company who can repair these players or modify them with new parts (transport+servo board). It seems to us that Musical Fidelity has moved forward and abandoned its old Tri-Vista customers. No help from their side at all. All info/help is appreciated.

Those parts are long time gone. MF is not the only one left with this problem. I read on the british forums, that in the UK they are offering a huge (up to 50%) discounts on their current products for customers beeing stuck with their SACD players.

I would press US distributor to do the same if I were you.

Krell used the same Philips transport in the SACD Standard. Did they stockpile transports in case of failure? Did they know it was a crap transport when they built/designed it? Did they test it properly? Why no shame on Krell?

No shame on Krell, since they did not abendoned their customers, like MF did. They have chosen to design a replacement drive instead. The new drive can be retrofited to ANY Philips equipped Krell SACD player. The upgrade is not cheap at $1500, but at least your player can be brought back to life. The upgrade includes a new DVD-ROM drive (sourced from their upmarked, EVO series), new software, new PS and a new display.

See the difference ?
