am/fm tube tuners


I am in the market to add an AM/FM tube tuner to my system. I listen to jazz and female vocalists mostly. I want this just for the "sound" that is hard to get since all my other stuff is solid state, and pleasant background music. I would like to spend around $1000 for the tuner. What tuners are out there that people have loved over the years? Thanks for your responces.

Agreed on AM. But I love to listen to baseball games occaisionally. Not really that important on this system since I can always listen to the radio. Maybe the FM tuner is a better choice.
The Magnum Dynalab 108 looks likes it runs $3200 to $3500 used. Is it worth it? That is about 3 times what I want to spend but if it is top notch, it is interesting.
I just called Magnum and the Dynalab 109 is now out. This is the revision of the 108. Has anyone heard about this unit?
You know S23chang you start off thinking maybe I can add an inexpensive tuner and then all hell breaks loose. Too much of a facination with great sound. There are jazz stations and classical stations that play music you just can find so i really want something that is good.
