Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge


Please suggest a SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge.
I currently own a Ypsilon MC26L Ypsilon VPS 100 Phonostage.

However the highs are high. Since the cart is putting out 0.95 mV, it may be overdriving the phono stage as MC26L has 26 amplification ratio.

Even the lowest amplification ratio Ypsilon MC10 is recommended for carts 0.4-0.6 mV. 

I am not sure if there are SUTs with 5 amplification ratio.

Wow Kanchi647, there must be 1000 of them out there. How much do you want to spend? Tubes or SS? Digital or analog? Are you using an Ypsilon amplifier? Answering these questions will help us narrow it down. 
Kanchi647, when you connect resistors in parallel you drop the impedance, always. I agree entirely with lewm. You have an excellent phono stage. You do not need a SUT. You need a preamp with more gain or amps with higher sensitivity.
As for SUT's what you use for wire make very little if any difference except with price. You are way better off spending that money on a better cartridge or tonearm.
