Ends Saturday 1pm EDT.

Tommy, the Kickstarter page says it ends on Sunday, April 12 @ 1pm.    Just want to make sure I understand which is correct - Saturday or Sunday?

You are correct!  It ends 1PM EDT Sunday.  So, Saturday is the last full day of the program.  Thanks.

Kickstarter is now measuring time left on this project in HOURS!  70 hours remain....
http://kck.st/1EKKHSt

We're asking our audiophile friends to PLEDGE at this time.

We have several audio goodies left, including a super low cost monoblock demo set and power supply upgrades for existing Maraschino owners.

We just corrected the reward listing for the KING 60V MINT Maraschino ($1200).  It now INCLUDES the DC_SNAKE cable.

The DC_SNAKE is a super-low-impedance 5-way braided black/red cable (see photo in the storyboard) for connecting our 60V 1kW power supply to a Maraschino amplifier (any Maraschino amplifier, actually).  These have 0.2 ohm round-trip resistance.  To give you an idea of how much this matters, the standard DC cable that comes with the "non-KING" 60V Maraschino is 1.2 ohms round-trip.  The normal price on a DC_SNAKE cable is $150, by the way.

Oh, one more thing....  We added Maraschino performance plots in the storyboard.  These show Frequency Response, THD+N versus Frequency at that all-important "first watt" (1Wout), and THD+N versus power into 4 and 8 ohms.

I've made my pledge for a Mint to upgrade my small home recording studio -- I may have to empty my change jars, but tons of clean power can only make for better mixes, or at least for no excuses for crummy ones .

Yet another application to think about for the Maraschino sound....

Great point, John!!!!  Thanks (:

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!
