Tivoli radios: let's talk about them
Posted by: ErikL on 01 November 2003
Hi,
I read the old threads but since there are surely new Tivoli owners here I thought I'd start a new discussion. I'm destined to buy myself a Model One or Model Three for the holidays. My concerns:
- Any luck using the 75-ohm jack with cable service? Or, am I better off using the ribbon antenna and getting 2 FM stations?
- Does anyone place their radio vertically (i.e., on its short side)? My space is limited.
- Has anyone found a particular inexpensive headphone to work well with Tivolis? I have very cheap Sony in-ear things that I use with my laptop, but I hate them.
Gushing comments on these little marvels welcome. Thanks.

Dan,
The FAQ's are here.
Reception is now excellent with my Model One- I looped the wire antenna and threw it behind the shelf, and every decent local station comes in with the amber light blazing! Its bass was a little much, but the more I distance it from vertical surfaces the more it cleans up.
PS- I won't be stuffing anything with socks.

Algers,
Um, one question- what's the offical club handshake or salute?

The Trouble With Tribbles
Wow, just check out that website - those boxes are multiplying! I think their pushing the use of that form factor a little too far - sort of goes against the whole KISS appeal of the model one. However, at the risk of adding another box, wouldn't it be nice to replace the speaker on the 'one' with a big green LED for freq. (and also make the output stereo). Sort of a poor mans NAT02.
cheers
