I switched back to the phono in the D220 Pro this weekend. Hiss is still there.
I actually found the phono in the D220 Pro a little warmer than the Rega Aria at the same load. The Rega Aria of course had no hiss and seems to be more forgiving to noisier records, other than that they were rather close.
The phono in the McIntosh C47 is a real delight and it's the most I've enjoyed vinyl in quite some time. Impossible to compare because everything else after the phono preamp is different as well.
