Help Please. Phono stage for Denon 103R


Recently moved from MM to MC after reading so many good reviews about the Denon 103R cartridge. I have been using the Graham Slee Era V gold as my phono stage and was simply going to add the GSP Elevator to accommodate the MC cartridge. My question is, would this provide me with enough gain to get the best out of the cartridge or should I be considering something different?

As always, thanks in advance for any help or advice given.

Thanks for the response. Yes I am still using the AR VSi55 and the Harbeths, the room size is about 10sqm by 10. Music choice is fairly eclectic, Chet Baker, Pink Floyd, Sade, Augustus Pablo, so I need the system to accommodate everything from jazz to rock good as well as heavy dub reggae which I like to be played fairly loud.

Given that there is not alot of headroom with regards to the gain, do you think the Harbeths would be sensitive enough to accommodate this?
Thanks I'll give the EXP a go. BTW, the lack of bass from the amp, that I was suffering from a few months ago, was due to a fluctuating juice problem out of the wall sockets. This was simply (albeit somewhat costly) resolved with the purchase of a PS Audio Premier plant.
What loading did you go for on the EXP with the Denon? I had
two different opinions from two different dealers!
