Tube phono stages are going to more susceptible to RFI if you are near a radio tower. In other environments maybe no issue, but when I lived 1000ft away from one, four or five tube phono stages all gave me trouble. SS phono stages all eliminated the radio signal that rode along with the music and could be heard between tracks and during quiet passages. For years I've stuck with tube line stages and ss phono stages and am happy with the approach. Cheers,
