WishList: Tivoli Audio Model One Radio

We heard the Tivoli Audio Model One Radio playing The Band's "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down," at their retail store earlier and were so impressed by the crisp audio quality and the retro-cool design. Desktop AM/FM radios will never go out of style but Tivoli Audio's creations don't just look stunning, they sound really impressive.

Here's the Tivolu Audio Model One's spec sheet.

  • 3” full range speaker
  • 5:1 ratio analog tuning dial
  • AC/DC operation
  • Amber LED tuning indicator
  • Auxiliary input (compatible w/ iPod or other audio source)
  • Automatic frequency control
  • Stereo headphone jack
