The Golden Age Pre gets excellent reviews, I wouldn't mind having one myself.
From all of my research on the matter, when it comes to ribbons though, you are not going to find a worthwhile preamp for less than $800 per channel. (although Golden age seems determined to prove me wrong)
Ribbon microphones require close to 80dB of clean gain in order to get the very best out of them. Ribbons are not like any other microphone.
So far the AEA Dual Ribbon, Preamp gets the highest recommendations.

And now, a quick word about "Ethnicity" in ribbons.
It is not enough to say "Chinese Ribbons". While that kind of talk may be fine in some countries, it is hardly an informed opinion.
If there is a particular brand that doesn't please you, name the brand.
This whole Anti Chinese theme is inexcusable, as is Anti Mexican, Anti Russian or any others that you may choose. It's all a bit "Lou Dobbs" to me.
