I would borrow a "passive preamp" first to see if you might not find
that wholly satisfactory. If not there are several out there, but a
homebuilt Marantz 7C clone will beat most modern ones solidly. Many
extremely expensive high end ones available today are poor. The use of
RCA connectors and excessively long interconnects, because people who
refuse to learn to solder buy them ready-made instead, renders any
effort at excellence moot in most installations even when good ones are
used.
