Well, one of my friends owns a Kondo KSL SF-z and had an Audio Note S2 (I think, that's the name from it) for a comparison. He told me, the difference was huge to his ears ( SF-z)
Having both Kondo KSL LP AND AN UK Sogon I can say both have the same family sound. The Kondo is not as aggressive and out going as it's charactor sound is more mellow and smooth sounding.
The Sogon is like a live wire that has some bite and sting to it. To say the one is far better than the other is foolish and sounds like they never really did a A/B compairison. Hard feelings I would say as the Past is in the past if you know what I mean.
