Hi Jeff,
It’s probably best to ask Keith, or wait for one of our more knowledgeable members like Ralph or Al to chime in.
That said, I believe that your numbers are correct, that SUT would give you 3 dB more gain than the ones built into your Herron.
Still, I believe that any SUT is designed to be plugged into MM inputs, though I could be wrong. Most MC stages are simply MM stages with SUT’s built into the preamp. So I don’t think you should plug a SUT into another SUT.
Please let me know what you find out. I’m sure there are SUT’s out there with more than 24 dB of gain.
I have seen some with 30 dB of gain, like Bob’s Sky 30:

Good luck!
