As I recall the amp's sensitivity needs to be about .5v. I tried a passive line stage with an amp having 1v sensitivity once with a poor result.
Just a guess that you need a higher gain pre as well, but others with weighty authority here can tell you.
I'd just scrap the idea of a passive pre altogether no matter what amp you consider. In the long run, I'm guessing you will not be happy.
