What can I expect to hear from a decent analog FM Tuner?


Will these provide something warmer, different or enhanced from Streaming or CD?  I currently have a vintage Kenwood 700 M amp that I am using with Benchmark DAC2.

With FM you are at the mercy of the broadcaster. I listen every night to All Night Jazz on WUSF 89.7 Tampa. A good sounding station - but they use digital files. Not as good as the same music played back on my Marantz CD67. All the other commercial FM stations in my area broadcast musical dreck! So unless you have a college station nearby don't expect sonic delight from any analog tuner!
I have six vintage FM tuners. Including two tube units (Fisher and Scott), plus a McIntosh MR77 and a Marantz Model 23.
