What trans (SUT) for a Victor mc-5E cartridge?

Hello,

I have this cartridge (and this is my first experience with mc cart, I have never had any before) and I have a good MM amplifier
so I am looking for a step up transformer for this cart.
(https://audio-heritage.jp/VICTOR/etc/mc-5e.html)
It is said to be 30ohn cart. What should I get or look for in order
to get a proper match? I am looking at
1-denon au-340 (Though I can see there 40 ohm indication. Is it a big difference, incompatible? )
2-Fidelity Research FRT-4
3-Entre ET-100-2 I dont know the characteristics , will it suit or not?

4-Denon au-s1 but I dont know the characteristics either

But maybe there is smth much better for this cart? What would you suggest? Thank you
Serge

I'm real happy with a Denon AU340 SUT. Has 2 sets of inputs, 3 and 40 ohm selection plus a bypass if one of the inputs that your using is a MM cart.

Uses Tamura TKS83 transformers but you can often purchase a complete Denon AU340 from Yahoo Buyee for less than the cost of the bare transformers elsewhere.
