Robin,

Barry did the new silk design and Levi took the photo. FYI, the "real deal" will have a darker red background than in the picture above. Thanks for the compliment!

Best Regards,
Tommy

It's about load dependence.

Thanks.

Have you considered making a multi-channel amp to compliment your current amps? I would be interested in a 5 channel amplifier to go with my Cherry Jr.

We have considered this, and we have designed several multi-channel amplifier systems over the last decade for other companies, with digital and analog modulation, from 3 to 16 channels. However our next product will be a one channel amp. We already have a few customers waiting for these. One use is for ultimate home theater --- the single channel amp drives the center channel and two stereo amps drive the front/rear. One great combination is a Cherry PLUS for the front, Cherry jr for the rear channels, and Cherry MONO for the center. The gains are all matched. We plan special deals for buyers of multiple amps too (like two MONOs). Thanks for your kind post.

Now that's a system I'd like to check out Tommy at a future RAVE. Better bring a van tho.

Cheers,

I got the family truckster, baby. Chevy Traverse LTZ. A sweet ride with room for 7, amps or people that is...

I was hoping to not have as many amps.

With a 7.1 system with two subwoofers I already have two 1000 watt subwoofer amps. I would need 4 Cherry camps for the other channels to replace my Outlaw Audio 7100. I also have a Buttkicker mounted in the floor joists which has another separate amp.

A 3-channel amp would be nice in the lineup. One could buy a 3-channel first for their mains and center. They could then upgrade the mains and move two channels of the 3-channel amp to the surrounds. If they went 7.1, then they could buy another 2-channel amp. Also, there are more people going with active crossovers. A 3-channel Cherry amp would be nice for a 3-way speaker, but it might be a little overkill.

Sweet! I like that idea!

Thanks for your post.

I can't find these measurement pdf's anymore on your website. Are they still available? Do you also have measurements of the Cherry Jr.? Thanks.

The amp's specs are at the bottom of the pages

mojave · « **Reply #593 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 02:15 pm »

The PDF I requested was not specs, but measurements. The post right above Tommy's that I quoted asked, "Do you have any graphs of your amp's performance? THD vs freq, THD vs output power, etc?" Tommy replied, "Yes . . ." and proceed to post some PDF's that had the word "measurements" in them. This is what I am requesting.

I own the Cherry Jr. and am familiar with the website and the specs. I'm not sure what I would learn from looking at the graphs, but it sounded like fun.

Barry_NJ · « **Reply #594 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 06:06 pm »

My bad, maybe Tommy will get back to you with the "measurements".

AmpDesigner333 · « **Reply #595 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 06:51 pm »

These links should work now...

Cherry Specs:

DAC4800A Specs:
http://www.digitalamp.com/DAC4800A%20standard%20measurements%20v3.pdf

Please keep in mind that our recently produced amps (within the last 2 years) have slightly better performance.

Also, keep in mind that the Cherry jr has essentially the same hardware internally as the DAC4800A, so the measurements are about the same.

Sorry for the delay in getting the files re-posted. Thanks.

Current Audiogon deals on demo amps:
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=81883.msg831622#msg831622

One auction has only 2 hours left.

The DAC4800A on there has 7 days left, and it's only $900 to start. For those of you interested in Cherry amps, this is essentially the same internally as a Cherry jr.
