    A preamplifier (preamp) is generally used to provide high-quality signal amplification. A preamp will usually give better signal amplification than the receiver/amplifiers you can buy from the home audio stores. The preamp also lets you switch between various input signals and adjust treble and bass. A further advantage is that it gives the proper load impedance for the inputs and a low source impedance for the outputs (to the speakers.)

    A pre-amp can also amplify phono inputs, which are at a much lower level than other components. Some preamps may include a microphone input.

    As for being worth the money, it's your call. : )
