tube tuner or solid stat tuner


Hello looking for advice, I have a very simple solid state system which i like. Not looking to replace any existing units. Would adding a tube AM/FM tuner to it, have any advantage over a solid state tuner? The tube tuners seem to be a little more money. So being solid state system would be adding tube tuner be worth it?

The solid state Preamp is a Esoteric CO 3x

The solid state Amp is a fully  restored Mark Levinson 335

The Disc player is a Esoteric KO 3x

Thank you for your time and info.

I am a big fan of tubes but I use a Fanfare FT 1a and a Magnum Dynalab MD 102.  Both great tuners.  The Fanfare is an amazing tuner for when it was built.  I think around 94.   You can find them cheap and they sound great and have great reception.  If you can find a B&K 108 it is essentially the same tuner.  Built for B&K by Fanfare
