Trinity! This is the original ‘Trinity’ preamp,
Dietmar was going to produce a fine measuring range of products at reasonably inexpensive prices.
Until his far eastern distributor told him that the cases were too light and the prices too cheap, in came milled from solid and a tripling of the retail price, with the old boards simply being inserted into the new cases, we parted company at that point.

Hey Keith: Just to be perfectly clear, I am not advocating for DACs @$50K (although I have no problem that some companies produce them, after all, they are not like Insulin or something where people must purchase them to survive). In fact, for me personally, I think the equations and approaches which get us to 5 figure (and 6!) electronic components in the first place are mostly flawed (not in the case of loudspeakers though). I fully believe that SOTA audio electronics can be produced and offered to the consumer in the four figure range. But I do sympathize with and understand the thoughts of the Asian distributor in question.
