Music Hall CD25 better than Ah Njoe Tjoeb?

I have had the CD25 and the Ah Njoe Tjoeb 99. Both were great for the money, but I did like the Tjoeb better. There was just a smoothness to the music. The only other player I liked better, close to its price, was the Rega Planet 2000. Which was used. I have been thinking about getting a Tjoeb 4000.

The Planet does sound very tube like. To me it also had a bigger soundstage, pulled out more detail in the music. The only problem I have with the Rega, is the remote codes. Sometimes I enjoy watching a football or basketball game, while I listen to music. But the next track and previous track codes are the same as my televisions channel up and down codes. That can be fun.
