low output mc: noise free listening possible?


I'm considering buying a low output mc cartidge of 0.2 millivolt. This faint signal needs a high gain of 60 dB or even more.

Which phono-amplifiers are capable of delivering a noise free signal. Or do I have to accept a certain level of phono-noise?

I'm now listening to the following setup:

cartridge: Allaerts MC2 Finish
phono: Blue Amp model 42
amplifier: Marlk Levionson 383
speakers: Sonus Faber Amati

This setup generates quit a lot of noise. At a fair, but firm listening level the system noise is much larger than vinyl noise.
Is it the phono or the sytem that generates this noise?
