RIP Tommy Obrien - Cherry Amp

It appears from a thread over on Audio Circle that Tommy Obrien, founder of Digital Amplifier Company - CherryAmp - passed away a few days ago.  Not many details are available...below is a link to the Audio Circle thread.

He was  one of the brilliant designers who not only made great sounding products but always had time for his customers.  He will be missed.  Condolences and prayers to his family.

I have 4 of his amps.  Tommy had great products and great service/repairs.  I would be a Cherry bot.

The donations are pouring in and that is a good thing. So sad about the kids.

 

Present owner of a 2 Cherry. I owned 2 of his amps 10 years ago. Solid products.

 

RIP Tommy.

I made a few inquiries back in the day and never found anyone who was able to discover any circuit diagrams for tommy's gear.

Here is a thread that speaks more to the issue and what others found:
