Ladies and Gentlemen (well, mostly gentlemen).... We've been working on this for more than 3 years....
Name of the first amp series to use this technology is up for grabs, but here is the first mention of Bing Cherry Amp (TM), at the top of our list. Comments welcome!
This is a scalable (100mW to 10kW) platform with a new modulator topology driving a modular output stage circuit.

More detail would be nice.....How about some specs?
-
Yeah, we really need those specs to come up with a name for the amp series :lol:
Sounds great, how about..Cherry Prima. :thumb:
-
As much as I love choke cherry jelly I don't think that would be appropriate. Just kidding, always love reading about new technologies. :thumb:
-
Ch Ch Ch Ch Cherry Amp!
Send the check to Kim Fowley. He needs it more than I do.
-
The Cherry Bomb! :bomb:
-
I think now would be a good time to ditch the "Cherry" name.
Bing Cherry? Really? :duh:

They could switch the name to Crosby. Now what word would go good with Crosby? :scratch:

Didn't realize this was a "name the new amp" thread...You are one perceptive dude....

If it's your best, it has to be the Maraschino. We love our cocktails here.

Cherry On Top
-
How about another fruit in the Prunus genus? Peach. (It's a Peach.)
Martin
-
if it specs well and sounds good - Cherry Blossom. (You can say it blooms well)
-
Cherry Pop
Cherry GB (got Balls)
-
I didn't realise it was the Cherry Amplifier Company...
I think a name other than Cherry is in order as it seems there are already a plethera of Cherry variants.
Cherry Jr., Cherry, Cherry Plus, Cherry Ultra, Cherry Mono, Cherry Mono Plus, Cherry Mono Ultra...
Just my 2¢
-
Your 2 cents makes a lot of sense if the new amplifier is a different technology.

Okay, I'll take a stab...how about Papa Cherry?

My favorite type Cherry. Bing Cherry
-
If its a 'NEW' technology, why use the same name(or derivative) of the "OLD" technology?
NEW should have a new name/lineage...if you want to stick with the fruit thing, how about Plum ***, or Mango ***, or some other fruit...?
-
I like Plum. or Plumb 'cause that's what it'll do to the bass!
Looking forward to hearing it (Or will it be them? as in monos?)
If there are op-amps involved we gotta look for the best, after what I've heard from my EE dac.

Yup, we'd discussed this before but it was in regards to a Bass Amp...

As before, I think another "Stone Fruit" or "Drupe" (http://www.fruitsencyclopedia.com/stone-fruits-drupe.html) is in order...
Some flowering plants that produce drupes are coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), pistachio, and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond (in which the mesocarp is somewhat leathery), apricot, cherry, damson, nectarine, peach, and plum.

Ahhh, The "Digital Amplifier Company Leathery Mesocarp" Love it :thumb:
-
If you want the best - Luxardo Cherry!
-

:D Well that may be a mouth-full, but: Almond, Olive, Peach, or Plum, could be a cool names for an amp. Cool colors for the face-plates too ;)

Cherry Jubilee!
Cherries jubilee is a terrific dessert.
Jubilee is a celebration.
You are celebrating a new design/era for the Cherry line.
-
Cherry OH!

organic cherry, part of the new organic line.

The first variant will probably be 200W. It will be a mono amo. SNR target is >120dB. THD target is <0.0009%. Drive down to 1 ohm. Low feedback design with ultra low output impedance. RCA and XLR inputs. Build like a little tank.
As far names go, I like Plumb the best so far. So here you have it, just in case, PLUMB Amplifier (TM)!
Higher power planned sometime in the future. Prototypes this summer. Thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming.....

Plumb as in perfectly vertical? :scratch:

That's plum crazy. A plumb bob?
-
what about
sweet cherry or wild cherry
-
No, the Marashino. Perfect for the Stereophile page.
-
cherry slam!

How about a name that sounds more like an amplifier and less like a lip-gloss flavor :scratch:

Any thoughts on internal versus external power supply? We are hashing out this detail now and think offering both linear and switching supply options may be beneficial (external).
Also, 300W may be our new base target, but we'd like to know if that's really enough of a difference to make the design slightly more complicated to accommodate the extra power.
One more thing.... It's possible to add a selector switch for additional control for very low impedance which would cost a slight decrease in SNR. Is there any interest in that?
We hope the audio community appreciates our reaching out to them for feedback as we complete our design phase. If there are any special needs that we haven't mentioned, please let us know. We plan to offer customization, but would like to satisfy our customers ahead of the curve so we can deliver a product that challenges the "usual stuff". Thanks as always!

Could a battery supply be an option?

Tommy,
Exciting stuff!
Can't wait to hear more about it.
All in good time.

Yes!

Yes!

Can't help but think this is like aggregate fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries, where multiple fruitlets form the single "fruit" as we know it by.
So, how about the DAC Berry?

We have reached our Funding Goal!
....but we're not stopping there. Still lots of Amplifier Goodies up for grabs:
http://kck.st/1EKKHSt
There is a very special deal tucked in the rewards. See if you can spot it (hint: Desktop).
We're thinking about stretch goals. Something like "If we make it to $20,000, we will....". Any ideas ?
Thanks as always to our AWESOME backers!
