I'm assuming you might have a type of microphone in mind already. What type
of microphone/s will you want to use? Would it be low impedance, or high
impedance? Dynamic or electret? Will your preamp need to supply phantom
power to the microphone? Do you want a dual channel (stereo), or a mono
preamp? Any details you can provide will help the people on the list
suggest a preamp suited to your needs.
