I'm a little disappointed in the remarks from our members here.
And pretty disheartening. A well-respected AudioCircle mfg. shares his concerns in what's a tough market, and gets even more grief from fellow Circle members, some of whom think it's all a good joke. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Ashamed of themselves? AC members are here for entertainment and to share and exchange ideas and experiences with regard to the hobby of audio/video gear. If you're going to discuss business matters on a public forum, even when it's a forum specific to his own company, then people are going to voice their opinions. What I felt was inappropriate was this comment:
"...this is the reason for concern. The Cherry has very high performance sprung from high technology, like nearly 120dB SNR, 0.003% THD+N, and up to 800Wpc. Have you seen the specs of Carver's "Cherry" amp? Yes, I know it's a tube amp, but to have the Cherry name associated with <potentially disparaging remark removed> is just <potentially disparaging remark removed>."
With all due respect to the AmpDesigner guy, this comment should have just remained between his ears.
As for whether this has caused damage to Digital Amplifier Company, I own a relatively high end audio rig and spend a fair bit of money in this hobby, and I have never once heard of this company or any of its products. So now I have.
