It Depends on:i)IF the *station's are worth it, AND....
ii) IF and only IF you drive them real hard with a multi-path free signal. IE in most cases this needs a directional antenna aimed at the station -
iii) when any tube tuner is worth it. Because valve sound is worth it.
And there's more. We live in a world almost saturated with RF and EMI, especially our homes. Valve front ends do not get overloaded by such out of band signals.
*I do know that good sounding - not futzed with - FM is very rare in Nth America - I've visited, twice.
It is here too, but all cities have ABC Classic FM and at least one community or Music Broadcasting Society station.
