Phono Stage/SUT for Goldring Elite MC?

Hello All,

I have a Music Hall MMF 7.3 with a Goldring Elite MC cartridge which exudes wonderful definition and clarity. However, when I play it through my Modwright SWL 9.0 phono card (gain: 50dB, fixed), and out my Parasound ZM 2350 power amp and Aerial 10T speakers, I have to crank up the volume so much that I get an inordinate amount of hiss. I want to keep the MC cartridge because I like its clarity. Is there anything I can do (for hopefully well under $1000) to rectify this issue while maintaining the fantastic definition the MC cartridge provides?

Here are the cartridge specs:

• Frequency Response 20 Hz-30 kHz +/- 2 dB
  
• Sensitivity 0.5 mV +/- 1 dB @ 1 kHz
  
• Static Compliance 18 mm/N
  
• Load Resistance 100 Ω
  
• Load Capacitance 100 - 500 pF
  
• Internal Inductance 2 uH
  
• Internal Resistance 8 Ω
  

And Modwright phono card specs:

• Gain 50 dB fixed
• Variable ohm loads; i.e. 30, 45, 50, 90, 100, 333, 500, 1000
• 100pF switch

I feel like there is a mismatch somewhere! I listen to acoustic music - classical and jazz, prefer a flat or warm sound, and like to purchase my equipment used to save money.

Thanks,
Randall
