Hey Omar, This is another one of those questions that have to do with personal style and what you want to hear. I would say if you were going to use and an external preamp, you would want it to be considerably better than the modules in your console. For instance, aNeve preamp or something of that ilk would certainly enhance the sound of vocals, kick, etc. however, it would not make sense to buy something like a Beringer preamp because it is in the same category as most low-end consoles. For my two cents, I would probably like to have a few really goodtube and other condenser Mics before I considered adding some preamp's.
