ricevs, That's the point. You ask yourself ...Great, but compared to what? The one reviewer on youtube was saying he had a tricked out 2A3 amp and this was better. That may carry some weight.
The 2cherry is either $2500 or $3000 for the better looking, better sounding version. Before posting details, it is always good to do a search. Maybe you meant to post $2700?
For any money? What super expensive amps have you heard? Certainly, I have never seen a bad review on Cherry. But most who buy them don't have super expensive gear.
The STM is a world class amp for about $1500. 90% (at least) of the DTMs. The 2Cherru is around $1700 maybe 95%. These amps are affordable for among the best amps you can buy for any money. If you can negotiate a trial it first before you buy deal, you can’t lose. Good luck.
