Gain for VPI Companion with supplied Grado Statement Sonata 1.5mV

Got a VPI Classic Companion incoming. Worried about having sufficient gain for my system. Cartridge output is 1.5mV, with 47kOhms loading. ARC PH-3 says 54 db gain and is MM only. Running into an ARC LS-16 GNSC and then an ARC VT-130SE. I was running a Grado Reference previously, which had a 5mV output - which was equally loud to my CD player. Any thoughts on compatibility and sufficient gain from this cartridge? I do not wish to find another phono preamp. If I will not have enough gain, I won't even hookup the cartridge and find something else immediately. I realize I will have to up the volume. Looking for any informed opinions on whether there will be enough gain without too much noise. Thanks.
