McIntosh Preamp for McIntosh MC7270

I have a McIntosh MC7270 driving a set of Snell Type A speakers. I am spinning a VPI Nomad table with a Grado Gold Cartridge. PBJ Kimber speaker wires and monster interconnects to the turntable. I have not been running a preamp (becuase VPI says not to) and am 100% I am not getting the input gain that I need out of the VPI Nomad turn table. What McIntosh preamp would be best matched to my MC7270? For me the sonic quality is absolutely needed but I like a matched system for ages/looks. Thoughts

The link you provided doesn't tell what the output of the phono stage is. It just says the cartridge output is 5mv. 

If that's what going to the amp, it's not nearly enough. I also am using a 7270, it's a great amp that will work great with any preamp.

I have mostly used a C47.
