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

Instead invest in a new unit as this one, please read the overall review including the measurements ( important. ): https://www.stereophile.com/content/ps-audio-stellar-phono-phono-preamplifier R.

According the real time measurements made by J.Atkinson in theory the true gain is a little over 37db so you don't have to have a problem running your cartridge other that maybe a higher than normal noise levels but the critical issue with your unit is that its RIAA accuracy is really poor and goes against the quality levels that your cartridge can shows: https://www.stereophile.com/content/leben-rs-30eq-phono-preamplifier-measurements R.
