The phono stage is indicated as having an overall gain of 66 db and a maximum output capability of 30 volts. 66 db corresponds to a voltage gain of 2000x, which would seem to say that the phono stage can handle an input voltage of 30/2000 = 15 mv. That would provide an overload margin of about 15x relative to the cartridge's specified nominal output, which certainly seems comfortable. (As I understand it a margin of 10x or more is considered to be ideal, and somewhat less than that will be adequate with most recordings).
However, depending on the gains and sensitivities of the rest of your system I would have some concern that you **might** be forced to use the volume control on the phono stage and/or the volume control on your preamp or integrated amp (if your system includes either of those) at undesirably low settings. Also, I have no knowledge as to whether the resistive load choices that are provided by the phono stage would be optimal with the particular combination of cartridge and phono stage.
A communication with Mr. Blume of Coincident would seem to be in order, if you already haven't done that.
Good luck. Regards,
