The "Trivista" is a small glass valve (with solder-in leads, I believe), wheras the original "Nuvistor" (a marketing name too) was a metal contraption. I'm not sure that one is used any more, but it did, unexpectedly, show up in another product, and MF's explanation was that this other product wasn't a pre-amp (like the first "unique" product). Never mind. It is just funny how marketing was done with "fantastic exclusivity" which then turned to "well, sort of exclusive". -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
