preamp for a royer 121 and other ribbons

[Drive All Day]

what's a good preamp for a royer 121 with at least 68-70 dB? reasonably priced, please.

Reasonably priced? Is that $700 a channel? $2000 a channel? Since we are talking about a $1000 + mic, "reasonable" could be very different for this post than other posts. I will tell you this though, I love my Royer 121 through my Chandler TG2

the DAV BG-1 and Millennia HV-3Cs both drive the royer easily.

I own both.

No experience here, but I'm guessing the high gain version of the Grace 101 would be a good fit at around $600.
