I'm new here and I'm not at all schooled in audio/vinyl. I recently bought a Beogram 2402 and I downloaded the manuals.  The cartridge (MMC 20 E) seems to be OK.  I have a Pioneer VSX 1021 k a/v receiver, and I am looking at a preamp arrangement for connecting the two.  I am considering running a TCC TC-750 preamp with a TCC TC-780LC line level booster in series.  TCC specifically mentions the 750/780LC as working well for low output phono cartridges, even mentioning B&O MMC series specifically.   Does this sound like a good arrangement?  I'll try a couple links to illustrate (if they come through).

I apologize for being so uninformed, but I am really new to this.  Thanks in advance.

If it helps, B&O cartridges will work with any MM phono preamp.
