Tube tuners are NOT "set and forget". Proper alignment (usually by a professional) is essential. Change a tube ANYWHERE in the RF/IF chain and realignment is required.
A Dyna FM3 in good condition is probably your best bet in a tubed tuner. The FM3 is good sounding and not especially costly.
The "Big 3" of tube tuners are the Marantz 10B and McIntosh models MR67/MR71. All are expensive. BTW, a Harman/Kardon Citation 3 is quite nice.
