Tunehead,
Welcome! So I checked out the specs of your preamp & your cartridge. The MC setting on your pre gives you 50db gain & 100 ohms load. Your cartridge output is .35mv with a 100 ohm load recommendation. That stated, your cartridge output is fairly low (not extreme) as is the preamps 50db gain. This is why it sounds "softer" compared to your prior ADC MM. So yes, a separate phono preamp (say one with at least 60db gain) will correct the "softness" you hear & probably improve the cartridges performance overall. An SUT will do that as well but if you go through the MM section of your preamp you’ll be stuck with 47K ohm load. That could make the cartridge kind of bright. Either way, you’ll be looking at spending more money so unless you’re hearing "noise or distortion" with your current set up, I wouldn’t worry about it until you are ready to upgrade.
Just my 2 cents
