    Maybe trades?

    Here's a review.

    http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/bk_pt3_st2140.htm
    Pretty much right from the get-go it was apparent that the PT-3 Series II was a smooth operator. Music took on a sense of ease that made listening fairly effortless and very enjoyable, yet there was enough detail to let me know what was going on, in and around the instruments and performers.

    ...

    Also noteworthy: Center images seemed more solid and locked in, so that it took less effort on my part just to absorb the music. I didn’t have to think about it. The PT-3 Series II once again fleshed out tonal colors, and I also heard an improvement in the balance between tone and sibilance in Patricia Barber’s sultry voice. Bass remained tight and tuneful, and the treble was nicely detailed and balanced in the mix, yet with just a hint of softness at the very top end that slightly rounded off the leading edges of some attacks. This also showed up as a slight veil that limited the perceived sense of air within the recording. But these concerns tended to fade well into the background considering all the things the PT-3 Series II was getting right. Overall, the PT-3 Series II delivered all the emotion, dynamics, and wealth of tonal flavors that this disc has to offer. Although it sounds like a cliché, I mean it when I say that the PT-3 Series II could easily be compared to preamps costing much more than its asking price.

    I don't know where else you will find a great entry level 2 channel preamp for a hundred bucks.

    Will do...at this point it seems that the B&K is doing a lot of good things, but in some respects the Onkyo is holding its own, as a preamp.
