Right, what ribbons need is lots of clean gain, and that's what the RPQ and TRP are designed to provide. Those preamps are also optimized for not having phantom power, (tho the RPQ has it on an alternate input), so the ribbons don't suffer from any DC blocking circuitry typically needed for phantom power. They're nice preamps, but not strictly required.
