Most of the time a passive linestage or an active preamp is attenuating the level of the source. Plug the source into the power amp and see for yourself. There are scenarios that are better for passives as well as those that are not good for passives. Another gain stage from an active preamp is not always needed and when it isn't needed it doesn't add anything positive. Less can be more in this hobby too.
