on tube amps the snr lower than on ss amps. on analogue phonostage it is allso lower than on cd-player
snr isn't only variable to consider amp.
making higher snr often caused by sacrifices of amp's performance such as increasing global negative feedback and decreasing input sensitivity. cheap IC-based amps will have better snr than tube amps, but that doesn't mean that they will sound better.
