We're waiting!
« Reply #602 on: 6 Aug 2011, 10:12 pm »
While we'd love to be building, testing, shipping....  We are waiting for parts from our suppliers.  Seems some items, such as high density Panasonic capacitors, have super long lead times.

In the meantime, we are working on a new version of the Cherry MONO that has an 1800W transformer (per channel!) and double (!) the rail capacitance.  Other projects have received added attention while we wait, such as a super high fidelity mono amp that is tiny and puts out up to 200W.....

We'd like to thank our customers, especially those with backordered amps, for their patience during this time.

Tommy,

Are the black (or silver) faceplates specific to certain models?

Like can you get a black that says Cherry JR  or Cherry Plus etc. or are they already screened with Mono... etc.?
Thnx

You can choose red or silver on any type of Cherry.  However, the black plates will only be available for PLUS or ULTRA versions.  Thinking about which plates you want on a pair of MONO ULTRAs????  Thanks.

P.s. Here's a thread about the new, not yet released Cherry MONO ULTRA BLK:

Tommy, what are exactly the differences between the Plus and Ultra versions? I have seen references to 1500W and 1800W but seemingly with regard to transformer rating rather than the actual mono amplifier power (8, 4, or 2 ohms).

Thanks and all the best,

Munosmario

Yes, this is about the transformer.....  Cherry PLUS has a 1500W transformer, Cherry ULTRA goes that extra step to an 1800W transformer.  Same for MONO as stereo.  The Cherry MONO (plain) has a 750W transformer and standard rail capacitance, but the Cherry MONO PLUS and ULTRA have double the capacitance!   PLUS and ULTRA models also have WBT Gold binding posts.  Thanks for your post.

Describing the DAC4800A sound
« Reply #610 on: 2 Dec 2011, 06:36 pm »
The DAC4800A is back, but going away:
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=100716.msg1021204#msg1021204

Someone asked me today to describe the sound of the DAC4800A.  Thought I might share my reply:

The sound is powerful and solid with great control.  It is very clean (due to ultra-low distortion) and controls woofers with a vice-like grip.  The noise floor is black (>115dB SNR).  Midrange is detailed and imaging is phenomenal.  The level if transparency is so high, that customers often tell me they hear new things in tracks they've listened to many times before.

Faceless Cherry MONO pair
« Reply #615 on: 10 Apr 2012, 11:41 pm »
Less than 4 hours left!
http://app.audiogon.com/listings/digital-amp-co-faceless-cherry-mono-amplifier-pair

This is a pair of Cherry MONO "faceless" power amplifiers. The first
pair of its kind to be built. Offering about 1500W total output with
amazing signal integrity (nearly 120dB SNR and 0.003% THD+N). These amps
are being sold as a DEMO pair to a lucky recipient willing to write an
informal review. :)

Maraschino compared to the classic Cherry amp
« Reply #617 on: 13 May 2014, 05:26 pm »
Just wondering if there is significant interest in a listening test comparing Maraschino (our new desktop amp, <10 lbs) to the "big Cherry" (our classic stereo/mono amps, 30-40 lbs).  Let us know......

Other, similar ideas are welcome, too :)

I'd like to hear a few opinions on the sound quality of each of these and how they differ.  Try them on some different speaker designs to guage where the sweet spot is for each of the designs.  Perhaps a litte tap dance about the engineering diferences as well.
