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

I've owned a Karin for more than 10years and can say you won't go wrong getting one. It's very flexible and offers a non-descript sound (a good thing!). Extremely low maintenance and very reliable. A true Linn product.

I recently upgraded to a much larger system and needed to trade the Karin to make the deal. If you're interested, I can direct you to the dealer. He has my tri-amped aktiv Linn kaber system with three- LK100's and the Karin.
