Everything's better with a Step-Up-Transformer! ;-)

SP17 gain might be marginal according to this online review:

"Just like my PH3SE, you can physically change the loading resistors for the phono input of the SP-17 and, you should have no problem adjusting the input loading accordingly to take advantage of MC cartridges with an output in the .6 - .9mv range if your system has enough overall gain, making this a very versatile preamplifier indeed."

Have you considered a Step-Up-Transformer? I would often run a LOMC into a SUT driving the MM input on a phono preamp. In many cases I preferred this sound to a LOMC into the phono preamp's own MC stage.

But I haven't been into vinyl for a few years now since my computer based audio is sounding great.
