I looked up your phono preamp and I'm not sure of the version you have, but the one I looked at showed MC gain at 60dB or 66dB.
I have a Benz Glider SL into a Fosgate Signature phono preamp that lists MC gain at 60dB, and it seems to have enough gain. I am very happy with the sound in most respects.As far as loading is concerned, I believe there is no magic number and you just have to spend some time listening and experimenting till you find what sounds best to you.
In my system I have found 300 ohm loading sounds best most of the time.Hope that helps, good luck!
