Jim Alfredson Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 A friend of mine just got this CD player. We tested it out on my system which consists of: B&W CDM-SE1s Adcom GFA-5800 Adcom GFP-750 Nordost Blue Heaven interconnects Audioquest Type IV speaker wire I own an Arcam Diva player which I really liked... until I heard the NuVista. Even my wife, who is completely skeptical of these things, noticed the difference right away and her eyes got really big (we were comparing Alison Krauss' new recording, her favorite artist). The NuVista is absolutely amazing. I have not heard SACD yet, but this things makes CDs sound fantastic. Quote
Guest AbsolutMusic Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 It is I, that friend who bought the player. Yes, the Musical Fidelity NuVista 3D CD player was a frightening purchase, but upon first listen, I knew it was the best decision I'd ever made. Antony Michaelson is my new hero! Quote
desertblues Posted March 7, 2003 Report Posted March 7, 2003 I haven't demo'd one yet, but have heard nothing but rave reviews on the NuVista. I'm gonna upgrade soon and this one is definitely on my short list! B3'er, I dig your board and hope to visit regularly-maybe we can pick up where the good part of BNBB left off...glad you're keepin' it greasy. B) Quote
jazzbo Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 I'm a huge tube nut, and I've always wondered about the nuvista tube in applications. . . Glad to hear that it is a successful implementation in this cd player. Bet it sounds amazing. Maybe I should go and buy a handful of lottery tickets. . . Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 17, 2003 Author Report Posted March 17, 2003 I think he got his for $3500. It's a demo unit. Perfect condition. A little steep for my non-existant budget! Quote
