If I remember correctly your Audible Illusions pre already have a MM phono section, you can add a step up transformer or get a MC phono preamp to amplify the signal. Look for a used Musical Fidelity phono which can be had for less than $250 here on Audiogon. There are many excellent phono preamp that's affordable, no need to buy the latest model.
If you have a phono stage then look at the Bob's Devices SUT, I have one as well as a 103. See the review in 10 AUDIO on line as well as recent one in Stereophile.
I use a pair of CineMag CMQEE-3440A step ups with my DL103. I think that these are used in some of Bob's Devices SUTs. There is an in depth wright up over at The Analog Department on the DL103 and CMQEE-3440A. Look in the Articles and Reviews section. I think that it is an article titled "MC step up devices part 1" or something along that line.
