Tivoli Model 1 as a tuner?
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 sh... 
ASC Sound Panels
Hi, Howie -- I have 12 ASC sound panels, and I think they're great; they've improved a bright, echoey room without making it too "dead." They're easy to use (light enough to hang on a small nail) and to move around.Rich 
Amp question... Forte 4a or B&K ST140

Audio Alchemy DTI Pro 32 LED Settings Please.

can both balanced and unbalanced be used a once?
I have a Classe 30 (currently sitting in the box, because of upgrading), and I used the balanced and unbalanced out at the same time for several years -- balanced to drive the main power amp, and unbalanced to drive a powered subwoofer. I experien...
