Audio-Technica VM750SH Dual Moving Magnet Shibata Stylus Stereo Turntable Cartridge
I was a Koetsu dealer for many years.  Setup a lot of them.  I don't seem to recall any severe tracking issues, but I'm getting old.  I still own several and I personally have never had an issue.  I happen to really like them. 
Audio-Technica VM750SH Dual Moving Magnet Shibata Stylus Stereo Turntable Cartridge
Your phono stage is a Musical Fidelity not a Mobile Fidelity.  It's going to be way better than the phono stage in that old Pioneer receiver, so I wouldn't even think twice about even using the internal phono stage.IMHO, with the gear you have/are...

Grant Fidelity parts ways with Psvane
try the Psvane Treasure or the new S series tube that replaced them, in every instance I have compared them to the Gold Lions they have come out on top. +1  Excellent tubes! 
Grant Fidelity parts ways with Psvane

JC3+ phono preamp
I had an original JC3 for many years as my reference. Was the closest thing I found to my beloved Vendetta Research. It was quiet, dynamic and just a killer phono stage. I now use a JC3 Junior and just adore it. YMMV.p.s.  Agree, lose the dimmer.
