Linn Genki - Variable outputs


I have a Linn Genki feeding an LK85 and an LK140 into Aktiv Ninkas. While I really enjoy the system, it has been suggested that I would benefit from adding a pre-amp between the Genki and power amps.

Does anyone have experience of this and would a Kolektor pre-amp give noticable results over the variable outputs on the Genki. I do not need any additional inputs at the moment so that is not an issue.

Interesting, my dealer suggests the Kolektor is better than the Wakonda... Maybe that's because he can't sell a Wakonda (discontinued) but he can sell a Kolektor...

Thanks for the input
I have owned both, the Wakonda is better, and Ihave tried a few digital sources directly into an amp, I always prefer it with the preamp, a Wakonda is a great value used, I have one with a Lk 100, sounds very nice
I used to have a Genki. I used it with a Kairn and yes without a doubt it was much better than the Genki's variable outputs.
