Passive preamps have some sonical benefits compared with active ones butat a cost, passive designs are very transparent, clean midrange reproduction units and closer to the thrith as for impact and attack of solo instruments (cymbals, woods and most of acoustic music foundation) BUT there is unfortunalty a lack of dynamics, continuity and exceptions of the above virtues when not properly matched thatmade me go back to GOOD active designs preamps.
My commetn would be, get a passive preamp (inexpensive) and donĀ“t invest on an active until you are ready to go up in the dollar value.
Hope this helps
