No PHONO IN Solution

The headphone amplifier I use doesn't have PHONO-IN input.
I always thought that MC/MM phono preamp such as Music Reference RM-4 would be sufficient. But as it turned to be the device like this only brings the signal up to the level when it can be fed into the PHONO IN input of the amplifier that does already has a PHONO-IN jack. I wonder what I supposed to do if the amplifier doesn't have PHONO IN build in. What category of devices can be used?

Taking a look at the RM-4+:
RM-4+

It is a standard MM to line-stage phonoamp. However it is missing the low-out MC to MM part. So it should work for your high-out Blue Point MC.

The Sumico Blue Point 2 has an output of 2.5 mV which qualifies it for a MM stage.
