Trumpet reincarnated

I read somewhere in here that the Trumpet board might be finding its way into an upscale full funtion preamp with some parts upgrades. Which parts will be prioritized for upgrades and will those uprgrades be available for existing Trumpet owners?

TRUMPET is being reincarnated as a Hagerman Audio Labs machine (I think I'll call it the TRUMPET).  Two chassis (separate power supply), yet very compact, upgraded electrolytics, different chokes.  But mainly the same circuit and parts, as they were already quite excellent.  It is still just an MM phonostage, albeit one of the best on the planet.  I should have photos pretty soon.

The full-function preamp is something else, called the PL-10.  It will have a hybrid CORNET/TRUMPET phonostage plus a differential linestage.  All under remote control.

Thanks Jim. Will there be any advantageous upgrading of the old model? Which parts would you target for a DYIer? Thanks again.

The TRUMPET was never a DIY product.  There will be no upgrades or retrofits of the original machines.
