RJR, I have been recently buying Hi Fi equipment rapidly over the past few months...Taboo MK III, Audeze Headphones, CSP 3 ordered, Zu Audio Souls ordered, Jolida CD player to arrive Wednesday, two sets of DSR interconnects, Zu power cord and interconnects. I was using my old Adcom 500 Mk II as a phono pre and just didn't like it for some reason. I didn't want to spring for a "good" phono stage just yet....I've got my eye on that Torii MK IV. I have a 35 year old pioneer quartz drive turntable and have no intention of upgrading. I decided to try a cheapo ART DJ phono stage for $50 and it arrived a few days ago. I was pleasantly surprised....it sounds very good...when the recording is good, of course. I'm sure it has something do with the Decware interconnects that cost 4 times what the Phono stage did and the Taboo magic. I bought mine from Sweetwater in Ft. Wayne, Indiana...They are also an ebay seller...2 year warranty and tech assistance...Free shipping. Google it and read reviews like I did , then give it a shot. My guess is it will be better than your Onkyo....if not send it back. Then you can save your pennies to eventually upgrade to Steve's Phono Stage...hehe
