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.

@kanchi647   :Ok, then do it your self a favor and try it. Through a test you will know for sure before you pull the trigger for a SUT.:

Dear @kanchi647 :  Your Cary line stage has other 7db of gain ( 24db. ) connected balancved.

You don't need any SUT even with 17db in the preamp you don't need a SUT.

The only reasons of why you are thinking the SUT need is because the cartridge has lower output than the specified by vdH or that your Phono Stage is out of specs that it's not given you those 39db on gain.

Any SUT will degrades the cartridge signal  if the signal must goes through the Cary preamp.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
