A lot of preamps do. It's not a golden rule of ribbons that they want to see lower impedances from the preamp input, although sometimes that can be a life saver. If you're really worried about it get a preamp with switchable impedance like the Vintech 473, Chandler TG-2 (optional), or Great River NV. That way if you find that you prefer lower impedances for ribbons, the higher impedances will most likely be reserved for the condensers, which seem to produce better results @ 1200 and above to my ears (but again no hard and fast rules).
