Can a MC cartridge be used with a MM preamp?


I am considering upgrading my analog rig from a MM cartridge/TT (Clearaudio Aurum Classic Wood/Clearaudio Emotion) to a MC cartridge (Dynavector 20XH/VPI Scout) setup. I am currently using a Creek OBH-8 preamp which is dedicated to MM cartridges. Since the Dynavector is a high output MC (2.5mV) will this work with the Creek OBH-8?

I have a dynavector 10x4 as well, and love it. (seencarv above). I have no doubt the high end moving coils are better, but this $400 cartridge is giving me immense satisfaction.

P.S. - could you respond to "Am I smart or am I stupid"
It's a thread from a guy who is using an antique pre-amp as his phono stage. He thinks you have to spend 3k to get a pre-pre. Please tell him about your creek, which is...$220?
