P-304

About the P-304

The Onkyo P-304 is a solidly constructed and brilliantly engineered stereo preamplifier produced between 1987 and 1997. It features discrete signal path circuitry and direct tone passive equalization to ensure an even frequency response, no crosstalk, smooth bass, and a laid-back midrange. It supports multiple inputs including phono MM/MC, tuner, line, and tape inputs, making it highly versatile for various audio sources. The unit is praised for its extremely low total harmonic distortion (0.0005%) and wide frequency response (0.8Hz to 170kHz), delivering pure, dynamic, and clean sound. It includes headphone output and multiple tape outputs, with a robust build quality typical of Onkyo's Integra line. The preamplifier is made in Japan and is highly regarded by audiophiles for its value and performance, often compared favorably to much more expensive models.
