The Important of tubes or amplifiers?

I have always been puzzled by the question: is good tube more important that amplifiers? There are some audiophiles who would buy relatively cheap hifi amplifier but they are more the willing to buy tubes that costs 4 times that of the amplifiers?
Even though in the ideal world, one should have both good vintage tube with good vintage amplifers. However, as resources are limited, given a choice, my prefernce would be to get a better system first then followed by the tubes as the amplfiers built and circuit is like the engine while the tubes are supporting item.
