Increasing a Low output MM

Hi I have a low output MM cartridge. I am looking at a low gain phono stage; a gift.

Is there anyway to increase the output of a low output MM cartridge?

Previous posts have suggested that a SUT will not work due to impedance changes produced by the SUT.

Any other options, other a new cartridge?

Thanks

No self-respecting MM phono stage would offer only 28db gain, is an editorial opinion. But if you love it, and if your linestage doesn’t help enough, add an upfront gain stage. Not a SUT.

But I agree it would be nice to know the name of the cartridge: Input impedance would have to be tailored to the cartridge specs.
