Step up transformer recommendation

I am looking for a SUT to work with my Rega apheta 3 and audio research PH3SE.  Had the apheta 3 with the Rega Fono MC just did not do it for me.  I am thinking I can use my PH3SE but need SUT. 

I liked the way the PH3SE sounded with REGA Exact 2.  Upgraded to Apheta 3 and Rega Fono and it was not the upgrade I hoped for.  Want to dump Rega Fono and use PH3SE with Apheta 3.

Any help please.

Thanks, Tony

I was thinking the Rothwell MCL could be an option?  Or do I need to look for something better?  

Is it money well spent to go for a high dollar SUT like the one above? 

thanks!

I have the older PH3SE phono preamp 'not the reference'  I added the resistors for the 100 ohms input impedance adjustment.  The system played but at a really low volume, I could hear the music when I turned it up to 70% volume.  

Yes this preamp has a fixed gain of 54dB, probably do want SUT of 1:10?

Should I invest in SUT and use the PH3SE or would money be better spent on a dedicated MC phono preamp?  

I would love to hear what is recommended from others.
