I wish i had the knowledge and the tools to upgrade my Tivoli #3 radio.
It is set up on either side of my bed with dual subwoofers. The radio
is connected to an Apple laptop with USB out to an AudioEngine DAC.
This "system" sounds really good and looks nice with real wood enclosures, etc. The DAC improves the sound A LOT- it becomes much clearer and cleaner. But... if only i could improve the wiring, connectors,
the power supply (external), and any other components. The subwoofers cut in right where the 3 inch mid-tweeter cuts off, but makes one-note bass too often. It has a 20W built-in amplifier (too little) and a 5.25 in. speaker (6 in. would be better). Even if all this might not be cost effective, i know of no other radio/system that sounds this good and fits on a night-stand. I even have the matching CD player which, while it's quite functional and does the job, could definitely use some modifications. I even had the nerve to ask the company to upgrade the connectors and wiring, and they told me that everything supplied was
already "top quality". If only I could... - I would.
