What SUT for Ortofon Cadenza Black and Simaudio 891 Preamp

The Cadenza Black has an output of 0.33mV and an internal impedance of 5 Ohms. I want to use one of the lowest gain settings of the preamp, which are 40, 54, 60, 66dB. 

What SUT would be suitable for this combination? Budget to be determined.

Thanks

You could try both the 40db and 54db gain settings and live with the one you prefer, using a 1:10 SUT.

Thanks for your replies. Bob's Devices have a SUT that replaces the connection box on my VPI Classic, so that seems to be a good option to eliminate a pair of cables. Are there SUT's that provide better frequency response or less coloration but with good dynamic range, are these even effected by a SUT?

So here are my choices so far:

Bob's Devices SKY 20-S

Phasemation 600

Quadratic

Does anyone have experience with either one and a Ortofon Cadenza Black?
