Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge

Please suggest a SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge.
I currently own a Ypsilon MC26L Ypsilon VPS 100 Phonostage.

However the highs are high. Since the cart is putting out 0.95 mV, it may be overdriving the phono stage as MC26L has 26 amplification ratio.

Even the lowest amplification ratio Ypsilon MC10 is recommended for carts 0.4-0.6 mV. 

I am not sure if there are SUTs with 5 amplification ratio.

It's something like EMT output
So stepups used for EMT should work well. Like this one:

if to count on fingers we have to agree about certain numbers
if to look here into vdh specs  example
https://www.vandenhul.com/product/the-crimson/
you can see that output written like  - output voltage 0,65mV.
So measuring conditions are unknown and this figure is indicator. 
For example Ortofon writes in specs  - Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5 cm/sec; Lyra  5cm/sec., zero to peak, 45 degrees (CBS test record, other test records may alter results). So IMO trying it at first with 1:10 SUT is very good idea, it can be that cartridge output is lower or maybe even higher - you never know...
