Tivoli Model 1 as a tuner?


Hi
Has anyone tried it this way?
Looking for a tuner for casual listening. Nothing critical but want decent sound.
I like the analog tuning as well as using it just as a radio.
BTW, according to AudioAdvisor, it can be done using the headphone jack and the signal is in stereo.

Matts is right, it is a mono signal, though it does sound OK played through a decent stereo. But for $100, you can pick up a very decent-sounding old analog tuner on eBay; right now I'm listening to a Dyanco FM-5 that I got for $55 in very good shape. Check out http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/index.html for some guidance.

Bambadoo, do you know if they changed this at some point? Mine is an early one, and the signal from the headphone jack certainly does not seem to be in stereo mode. I can't find my manual, but I don't recall any mention of this.

Should have done this before I posted my last message. Take a look at http://www.tivoliaudio.com/faq.htm -- although the jacks on the back of the Model One take stereo plugs, the signal itself is mono. Bambadoo, are you thinking of the Model Two?
