I'm looking to purchase a preamp for use with my Beogram TX2 TT so that I can transfer from LP to CD media. Am I correct in assuming the MMC3 "moving micro cross" cartridge to be basically a moving coil cartridge?

It behaves like a moving magnet (MM) cartridge from the standpoint of interfacing with your preamp.

It does not need an SUT, or Step Up Transformer, as a low output moving coil (MC) cartridge would typically require.

Simply plug it into your MM phono input and you're good to go.

The only thing you'll find is that you need to turn up the volume to match the level you'd get with an MM cart.
 
Thanks, guys, for the help, much appreciated. An AZUR 651P is on it's way as we speak. It's designed for use with MC or MM cartridges, so I'll be good no matter what table I may use in the future, but I found a great price and couldn't pass it up. Thanks again for all and enjoy your music.
 
The b&o MMC cartridges are of the "moving iron" or "Variable Reluctance" type, like most Grados, the ADCs, and quite a few other classic (and good sounding) cartridges. They are functionally interchangeable with MM types (by and large) in terms of output voltage and nominal loading requirements.
