Mycket välljudande fungerande försteg vilket dessutom har en relativt hög Pre-Out på 1,5 V. Detta ger bra ingående kraft till apparatur som har relativt låg in-put såsom slutsteg och aktiva högtalare. Går att provlyssna vid eventuellt köp/hämtning
At kr 3,000, this is closer to a fair-to-good buy than a bargain, especially if you compare it with buying a newer basic preamp for the same money; for a respected vintage flagship like this, that asking price sits in the sensible zone rather than the “must pounce” zone. Typical used asking prices for clean examples have been markedly higher in Europe, so kr 3,000 looks well placed if the unit is genuinely complete and healthy.
What makes it worth a look is the P-3090’s serious build and high-end-era feature set: it was one of Onkyo’s better-regarded control preamps, with the kind of refinement and flexibility that still appeals in a modern system. If the seller can show solid operation, original accessories, and no scratchy controls or phono-stage issues, this is a legitimate enthusiast buy rather than a project.

Onkyo traces its roots to postwar Japan, founded in 1946 in Osaka by Takeshi Goda, an engineer at Matsushita Electric who envisioned high-quality Japanese loudspeakers. Initially established as Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K., the company began production in 1948 with the acclaimed ED-100 speaker featuring a 25 cm driver, quickly building a reputation through LP concerts and innovative designs that resonated with audiophiles.
The brand excels in premium home audio, renowned for AV receivers, hi-fi amplifiers, and surround sound speakers that deliver exceptional clarity and power. Its portfolio spans turntables, DACs, headphones, and cables, bolstered by acquisitions like Pioneer's home electronics division in 2015, enabling cutting-edge integrations such as internet radio and high-resolution streaming.
Onkyo holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by discerning buyers for reliable performance and value rather than ultra-high-end exotica. Despite bankruptcy challenges in the late 2010s, its revival under new ownership preserves a legacy of technological innovation and pure sound enjoyment, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern home cinema setups.
