I had a 1042 and found it rather flat and restrained at least on my Garrard, jelco arm and moth phono stage. I much preferred the iq2 and reson reca which use the same body but are full of vim and rhythm. I bought both of these S/h for well under your budget.
You dont need a SUT with the oc9 as the domino has an mc input with 100ohm loading which is ideal for the oc9 and 2 of the 4 gain settings arr suitable for low output moving coil carts
Personally I do tend to prefer using a SUT into the mm input (an inexpensive black head or AT-630 is ideal) however its more than happy running direct into an mc phono stage that can be configured to suit.
Obviously I can't comment on the sonic synergy of the oc9 with the domino as I haven't used the Tisbury. But it will produce a healthy signal for your amplifier.
Ps pardon punctuation etc, my phone makes it difficult to correct.
