For most people who are just starting out into audio think that preamps are not terribly important components. Their purpose is to regulate volume. How hard can that be???
Well, I will tell you it is a lot harder than you can probably imagine (at least doing it really well). There are quite a few good speaker, amps, and sources in the world... HOWEVER, there are far fewer good preamps.
A wise audiophile once told me: 'Any given music systems signal has the most chance of being screwed up by preamplification.'
Well it is passed my bedtime...
