tube tuner and sources


I bought Rogue 99 and 88 was thoroughly enjoying tube sound. I have non-tube CD player and does not know what I have missed out (will tube CD player sound different?). Can someone enlighten me tube/nontube sources in relation to tube pre and power amp? I want to get an excellent FM analog tuner, so want advice on (1) if tube FM tuner is the way to go? (2) excellent tube tuners below 3k? (I am thinking of getting a non-tube tuner Fanfare FT1A at this point). thanks!

Like Khaki8 I too have a Mac MR 71 on its way back from Audio Classics; I will be able to A/B it with the much heralded (on that OTHER website - audioreview.com) Yamaha TX-930/950, which measures very well indeed. I am told that the MR 71, like the Marantz 10B, delivers the goods in spades. We shall see; I've sunk a lot of $$$ into the Mac MR 71, and hope it pays off. Will post results of may comparison with the Yamaha.
I finally got the Mac MR 71 in 2003 and very pleased with the music--incredible. I will not be looking for another tuner. Mac MR 71 is it.
I must raise my paw for the Mac as well, and add that I sent it in for refurbishing/recalibration right to them. Came back great! Also, I added an FM ariel to my roof to great effect, although it attracts cable and dish sellers. But it is worth the look on their faces when I tell them I do not want cable and do not watch TV. Its for music, ye clods!
KK,
