Musical Fidelity Trivista 300

I'm using the Nu-Vista M3 integrated and love it as well. The only thing I wish for is the power on/off with the remote feature. I think both the Nuvista and Trivista don't have this feature :)

I had the the Nu-Vista for a couple of years in my main system and found it to be a nice unit, but a bit restrained; but with the appropriate components it can be the heart of a top dog system. About a year ago I got the Trivista 300 for my weekend home and find it to be a bit more open and the core of a truly great musical system. The great advantage is that the amp can drive low impedance loads and therefore is so easy to match with a wide variety of speakers. Frankly, it is so musical and effortless, it really doesn't matter if it is not the "last word" in latest and greatest super amps. Highly recommended!! MF have a great house sound and it stands the test of time IMHO. Oh BTW, although the weight makes a service return a bit of a hassle, remember the company has been around for many years now. My units have been 100% reliable.

I've had my unit for seven years now, but I'm strongly considering replacing it. I have no problems with the sound of the unit. I've always loved the sound when paired with my Focal/JM Lab Alto Utopia speakers. My problem comes with the reliability of its construction. I've had to replace one of its supposedly indestructible tubes. The source selector will probably have to be replaced, and three of the RCA connections in the back have gone bad. When I opened up the machine last week to see if I might be able fix some of these myself, I found the plastic table that fits into the RCA jacks to be disintegrating. Plastic pieces had fallen on to the circuit boards. Despite the quality of many aspects of the machine, the build quality is really not up to snuff.
