Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

I'm going to disagree

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.
