I have owned several amps over the years. Mostly mid fi until the last ten years I owned the Krell Chorus, Theta Dreadnaught D nc1200 based and the ATI Nc500 based amps. I kept seeing Cherry Amps mentioned in these class D amp threads. So I figured I would give it a try. Well to say I fell in love would be an understatement. I have 11 channels of Cherry Amps. But I can honestly say they don’t all sound the same. They all sound good but the best I have heard are the mono maraschino’s with the biggest 60 volt power supply with tripple capacitance. These little amps have bested some high end amps. The amps were Musical Fidelity M8 700m’s. The Cherry Maraschinos just sounded so much smoother and real. I know I won’t choose anything else ever. It is the perfect amp for me.
High end Class D amps?
Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks
