linn kairn/kolector or tube preamp


so i need a new preamp...i'm planning on running a all linn rig/active..
currently i have a linn pretek and need to upgrade,ive seen the KAIRN pro for roughly the same price as the Kolector(USED on the GON)..
which of these 2 linn preamps would be the one to get?
also i have been recomended tube preamps but alas they were very expensive sugestions..
can any one sugest a tube preamp in the same price range as a used linn preamp($700ish) that dels with P.R.A.T and fits into a linn rig real well?
cheers

mprime.......good responce...
yes neutral is what i want......i acctually havnt had a lot of experience with different preamps but i am after a sound that issolates the instruments....i'm tired of cluttered drums,especially when loud guitars come in the drums get buried....maybe a wakonda or kairn will do this?
i jus wanted to pick the brains of you folks who may of already been through an amount of changes and can afford to.......i like to make a good desision early on as i dont have tons of money to keep bouncing equipment around...
thankyou all for replying to my post and have a good xmas..
