Ah 4000 vs. Shanling T100, anyone compared....?


I have had an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 for about 3 years now. I've modded it out, rolled dozens of tubes to find what gives me the best detail, transparency, imaging, soundstage, and so on... and I believe I've taken the unit as far as it can go. I'm considering finding another unit as my source, and I'm considering a Shanling CD T-100, right now. But most of the positive reviews for the Shanling I've come across are actually for the highly modded units, not the stock T100, and I simply can't swing an extra $2,500 on top of the purchase price of the new unit itself.

Has anyone had a chance to hear a Shanling T100 (either stock or a "Level 1" mod) and compared it to an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with mods...? I'd really love to know if a stock or Level 1 modded Shanling is a noticeable step up, as a modded Ah! is already so much better than a stock Ah! 4000. Is there much difference between the Ah! and the T100 that anyone can say they've heard themselves and can confirm...?

Upgrade the tubes to the Western Electric, and you will be VERY happy with the Shanling....I am with mine...
