2 channel Preamp or Pass on the PRE???

I am trying to figure out what the benefit of using a preamp in 2 channel is? I am using a CD (variable outs) as the source, and running directly to a pair of monoblocks.

What are the benefits, other that being able to use more than one source, and the ability to use a sub, that I don't get by going direct?

Thanks
Dan

I'd used to have a Mark Levinson No. 26S preamp in the chain running in balance mode. It is nice and wonderful. But it no where near the setup that I have now. So I sold the ML no.26S. I think I will never spending any more money on electronics. I listen to music, and buy more CD's. lately.
