I was considering the M6si or M8si when I came across this review. I quickly forgot about those and ended up buying a Nu Vista 800. Yesterday was my first day with it and I must say your review is spot on! I am extremely happy with this purchase! Thank You!

@@larsv6144 I have my 800 paired with Vandersteen Treo CT's. It's a music lovers dream. My one word description is Natural. It delivers precise timbre, soundstage, transient attack, sustain, and decay in a way that paints a beautiful, balanced musical picture. Then gets out of the way and lets the music draw you in. I'll move on from the Vandersteens and experiment with the surrounding electronics but the Nu Vista 800 is here to stay.

I would have thought having vertical channel heat sink fins would allow better convection heat removal, seems odd to use horizontal, but certainly looks a beast.

Excellent review as usual Terry and thanks for reviewing a MF product. Not many UK reviewers give credit to this fine British company. I recently listened to their M6 Pre/ Power amps with three different pairs of speakers Proac DT8's, PMC Twenty5 24's and Graham Audio LS6 F's and wasn't convinced, which really surprised me, as I've owned MF stuff in the past and loved it. I really wanted to love this combo but the treble was so bright and shrill at times, but I did think the LS6 F's matched up the best. The other thing that really disappointed me was the cheap handset. Very poor quality for a £4000 pre/ power setup. I would love to listen to the Nu Vista 600 as it's closer to my price range and will sound identical to the 800. I'm really hoping that the treble is smooth and edging to the warmer side of neutral.

Hi, great detailed review. I'm considering buying one one the used market. I originally was looking for a m6 500i, but the more I read about the 800 the more I want one! However, my source is a Naim ND5 XS Mk2 streamer. Will the 800 be wasted with that? Taking into account that I dont want to buy a dedicated DAC? Cheers.

...I was lucky enough to get one when they (M.F) had the offer of giving the full RRP cost of existing Amp' off the (what was) £8K RRP for the NU-Vista 800. I use it with a Naim HDX (Crucial for me because of physical limitations etc), Naim XPS Power Supply, Kef Reference 1's with a Chord Qutest DAC (taken me 29 years of buying, selling, geting deals etc to get here!)... Then had it (Amp') tuned further by a specialist, it is honestly and in VERY short speak, a SUPERB performer and I cannot imagine wanting to change it / this set-up. Because of 'my' WAY more than average useage (up to 11hrs a day) I have had to change the 4 valves once; Other than that, SOLID and would recommend anyone that is looking in this region to try and get a Demo'! :-)

I had exactly the same deal as you on the Nu Vista CD. I expected the price of the CD would have dropped a couple of grand after two years has happened before with M.F. but it didnt....they went up from £6k to now £7k so its been a great deal.

They use NuVista Valves that done get hot and have a great lifespan - they are small tubes not like traditional tubes. Also the tubes are in the buffer stage for Siund quality and tone not used in the amplifier gain circuit - they are not driving tubes really hard to get the power is what I am getting at.

I have the Nu Vista CD which I have owned for 5 years now, before that the NuVista 3D which I kept for 13 years. Great products but certainly not made in England I think its Thailand now. At least not owned by IAG. (yet) don't want to get political but the Chinese have a greater plan and its a shame so many good companies including Luxman now are under their ownership. For my amp I do have a Luxman 509x as I want tone controls for the poor recordings out there.

Pursuit Perfect System how do you rate those cables? I ask because we have the MF amp and the Kef ref 5's linked with chord silver signature cables and all is not well. Lower mids seem recessed causing a strange bass detachment and vocals set well back in the mix. Have you had any experience with the chord cables?
