Is Burson Buffer Best Bet for Bustin Boost Problem

Ok so here is the issue. Using a 2.5V MC cart with my Linn Kolecktor pre ( designed for MM )is ok but lacking proper gain to play classic rock at hi levels. I don't want to turn volume to 11 and introduce excess noise etc.
Does anyone have this issue? My research to date looks like the Burson 160 Buffer would step up the gain just enough to solve the issue. this may be cheaper ($500) than buying another preamp or cart since I am happy with those two components at this time. Anyone tried the Australian Burson?

Hmmm, so it seems this buffer would not be the solution. I guess I will have to start looking for a phono pre amp here on Audiogon.

The current setup with the Basis and the Sumiko Blue Pt sounds a little edgy for my taste so perhaps I should consider a tubed device ??
