Grundig S350 vs. Tivoli Model One
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: VERY good sensitivity and selectivity; built-in antenna great
Cons: not-so-great sound quality (designed for short wave); bug-type transformer AC adapter.
What I wanted for my cubicle at work was an FM radio with high sensitivity and selectivity, so I could pull in the weak college and community radio stations to the left of the dial. We listen on earphones at work, so the speaker performance doesn't really matter.
I was torn between the Tivoli Model One and the Grundig S350, which were both the same price at Good Guys.
I bought the Tivoli first. It has a really nice sound (both radios are monaural) and looks great. It was very good at pulling in weak stations at higher frequencies, but just failed for stations below 91 MHz ... even strong stations came in poorly.
Then I traded it in for the Grundig. This is a portable, and also receives in shortwave, and can function as a clock radio, all of which I didn't need. However, it sure pulls in those weak stations (better than my 30-year-old Marantz tuner, which has served faithfully all that time). Sound quality is not as good as the Tivoli (though with earphones, that is not a factor for me).
