Great Office or Bedroom Radio
on November 27, 2009
Posted by: Brendan P. C.

I bought this radio specifically for my office. I started with a Model Two w/ Model Subwoofer in my living room and have been extremely impressed with it. My wife and I really enjoy it and so I wanted one for my office.I found a very nice used Model One that was only a couple years old and in perfect shape. I use it 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and absolutely love it. The FM reception is great and the tuer is very easy to dial in even the toughest stations to receive. The AM is ok but I haven't used it much for that so I don't know if it's better or worse than any other radio.The sound quality is where this unit really shines. Even at extremely low volumes the clarity is wonderful. I often listen to talk radio and the voices come in crystal clear. The ease of use on the Model One is great as well. With three knobs and 2 lights, the controls are simple yet refined. They're very smooth. The only draw back that some other reviewers have mentioned is the low volume control. It would be nice to be able to have more control over the low volume.Overall, this product is awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Also, being able to hook up an external MP3 player is a nice feature that works well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't keep a station in tune

To be sure, this little radio has great sound. If it's your intention to use it for playback from your iPod, it's a great choice. It's a really nice looking radio and has great sound at all volumes.The only major problem with the radio is the tuner. This is the issue that makes me yell and scream at the radio when I'm trying to listen to the news. It simply cannot keep a station tuned in for more than 30 seconds. I'll dial up an FM station, the light that measures signal strength will be beaming bright, and within a minute, the station is gone. The tuning knob is so sensitive that fine tuning is all but impossible. I'll literally touch the dial (not turn, but touch) and it'll alter the frequency. Buy it for the great sound, but NPR listeners beware... low frequency FM stations just don't stay tuned it.

Table Radio

Easy to tune and use table radio. Nothing fancy, no digital this-n-that, just a fantastic table radio. This is the second one we own, and this one is simply as good as the first one.

Simple, excellent audio

I won't rehash everything that's already been said about this radio. I've owned mine for eight years, and I've awoken to its pleasant sound every morning. I keep it plugged in to a timer to use as my clock radio. It's one of those rare pleasant devices that just works. No fiddling or adjusting, just listening and enjoying the nice sound quality.I WILL point out one annoying deficiency and a remedy. I notice a small 60Hz AC hum from this radio, especially noticeable in the silence between spoken words. The hum probably comes in from the powerline, and I'm guessing the radio's internal AC to DC converter isn't quite well enough regulated or something. Whatever the cause, I unplugged the AC line cord, got a small, regulated, 12V "wall wart" power supply, and plugged it into the 12V jack on the back of the radio. Voila! The audible hum is completely gone!

The Tivoli Model One Has great FM reception, even for weak stations. The controls are few, simple to operate, and feel good to the hand. We are planning to get another one.

Tivoli Model One AM FM radio

Contrary to what you might think looking at the photo, this radio has a beige front, not white. The photo is misleading, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, a really great radio!!!!!

Best in its class !!

This is the 2nd Model One I have purchased this year and that should say it all. Absolute best bang for your buck. Great retro look, like my old KLH at college, great rich sound, quality in build and materials, compact enought to put anywhere, great reception in both am & fm, where I live in the Pocono Mtns I can get the NYC news, financial and talk AM stations better than any other radio I've had, and have not experienced any station drift problems.
I would recommend this to a friend!
