On several occasions I have compared the Kolektor to the Wakonda(which I use) and the Kolector has always sounded rough by comparison - almost as rough as the variable pre-out of the Genki. Has anyone ever looked inside a Kolector? Linn has certainly shortened the signal path there, "as simple as possible"...perhaps a little too simple in this case. The Wakonda is incredibly revealing and smooth by comparison and has the additional benefit of incorporating the Kudos tuner - which I consider a great benefit for the sake of simplicity and fewer boxes.
