With Internet radio, (streaming) do AM\FM tuners serve any purpose in HEA?


Probably a dead topic, but I got a used AM\FM tuner recently in like new condition for a great price. Just wondered if any of you out there think tuners like this are still useful. Or not....

A FM tuner such a old Marantz,or McIntosh  Vacuum Tube tuners are still highly praised and sound verygood , and some verygood solid state ones .magnum Dynalabs makes or made digital tuners with Vacuum tubes .
the only  draw back with older tuners  is that the better digital stations have up to 
24/96 bit fidelity which is much better and much lower noise floor .
a lot has to do with your streaming setup . And quality of Ethernet 
cabling,bandwidth and modem,router. As A.E once said ,
everything that counts can’t allways be counted!!
