Today i made a comparison with the Cherry Maraschinos to my Dussun D9 power stage. Before this i did a comparison with the mighty Dussun V8i.Thanks for the kind words. Can't wait to hear what you think with the 60V power supplies!
I like the Maraschino more as you can found out in my previous reviews/comparison.
All told in one sentence, it came down that the V8i was a giant but not very subtile. The D9 was more subtile.
I'm selling the D9 but in comparison i had to set the volume right at the same DB level for both amps.
The D9 throws music to you that you instantly like, The Maraschino is more focused, more tighter and pure without losing that soundstage i like about that Dussun.
What amp can beat these Maraschinos?? I guess only another amp from the same company??
Inviting a new piece of gear into our system can be tricky. It seems so many products grab us with whatever we notice as different between the new product and the one we already own.........Thanks, Steve. Beautifully written (:
Still loving the sound of the Inline Maraschinos here -- I have yet to play a piece with a sound that hasn't come through clear and true. It's fun just to play through everything I've collected just to hear it in a whole new way.Enclosures for the 60V power supply upgrades just arrived after a slight delay. We plan to ship by the end of June. Thanks.
The 48V supplies have treated me well, but any idea when the 60V supplies / AC snakes from the Kickstarter campaign will be available for shipping? I need to do some traveling coming up, and I'd like to be here when they arrive to settle them into their new home :).
I agree 100% with that review. These amps are a knockout. :thumb:Thanks for your post, Tom. Maybe Steve should review the Hanging Maraschinos too....
My audio buddy Rex calls them BIG BOY amps.
KING 60V Maraschino amplifier review....Thanks for the detailed review, Herjolf!
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=140589)
I snagged a pair of 48v In-Line Maraschinos from Tommy for a steal a few months back. I've been waiting to comment until I had time to evaluate, but I feel comfortable now.
The short version is that the Maraschinos are spectacular amps, full stop. They're not "good for their size" or "good for the price" or "good for solid state" or any of those caveats, they're just great period. They are dead quiet, capable of huge power output and dynamic swings (and I don't even have the 60v...), produce extremely detailed and controlled bass, lovely uncolored midrange and sweet treble. Couple that with the fact that they sit in standby, come on instantly requiring no warm up, and turn themselves back off makes them incredibly easy to live with.
I've primarily listened to them with Kef LS50s and Snell Type E IIs. The Kefs are more revealing, and harder to drive. I have listened to the Kefs in the past with a Marantz reference integrated, Rega Elicit R, Nuforce digital amp, and a Parasound Halo integrated. So admittedly all integrateds vs the monoblock Maraschinos, but some solid gear and similar price levels. In my opinion, the Maraschinos better all of them. They control the speakers and the music just floats in the air. I listen mostly using a Wyred4Sound mPre as a preamp, although I also tried driving them direct with a 2v dac output.
This review will be briefer than many because I honestly haven't found anything the Maraschinos don't do extremely well. If I'm trying to find fault; some tube designs have more of that holographic richness in the midrange, but to me they don't offer the noise floor, ease of use/logistics, and tiny size of the Maraschinos. I've also heard some amps that do the "huge power and bass" thing better than the Marschinos, but they have all been massive 80 lb beasts. I suspect the 60v power supplies would get even closer in that realm too.
So my simple parting thought is to say if you're on the fence, grab a pair and give them a try. The sound quality, power and size are simply astonishing, and I think Tommy and DAC have a huge hit on their hands.
By comparison, the 60V supplies give a more laid-back presentation, wonderfully musical but without the degree of magic that the new supplies provide.
Did this more laid back presentation remain the case when you used the 60v on your less efficient speakers?
If that is your sub, bet the amp will sound better off of the sub.
I am waiting for the 30v power supplies. At the SPL's I play my system at, I know these will be perfect for me.Tom,
I am here, guess you never got my email. :scratch:Received. Thanks. Your 30V power supplies should be in your hands this week. (:
Received. Thanks. Your 30V power supplies should be in your hands this week. (:
My buddy Rex says his new STM is beating his L.I.O. with AVC in almost every way, especially in detail and soundstage. Now he is hesitant to trade his AVC in for the DHT on his LIO.Thanks for the info, Tom. Hope you're enjoying the 30V version.
For those that is drooling over the LIO but cannot afford it, look at Tommy's STM.
The 30v power supplies are hooked up and at very low listening levels, I am very impressed. More coming when I can crank this system up.The Stereo Maraschino, sometimes referred to as "STM", comes in two versions:
Also, an update from Rex and his tiny integrated. What is the retail, Tommy?
The cherry amps has more detail than the Job 225 amp and is much smoother than the NC-400 in my system.
The Stereo Maraschino, sometimes referred to as "STM", comes in two versions:
STM: 100W x 2ch into 8Ω, $1200 new web price
KING STM: 200W x 2ch into 8Ω, Gold WBTs, $1700 new web price
Thanks for the inquiry.
30v power supplies
More resolution
More organic
More detail
More foot stomping
More emotional
More dimensional
Are these the same amps?
What is are the STMs into 4 ohms?
I had exactly the same experience -- still can't explain it, just knew it the moment I heard it.
What is are the STMs into 4 ohms?Power doubles into 4Ω. Thanks again.
My buddy Rex says his new STM is beating his L.I.O. with AVC in almost every way, especially in detail and soundstage. Now he is hesitant to trade his AVC in for the DHT on his LIO.
For those that is drooling over the LIO but cannot afford it, look at Tommy's STM.
I had the full 30 day trial with LIO last August/September - with DAC, AVC/Tubestage, and the mosfet amp. I had Vinnie configure some custom line inputs direct into the mosfet amp and a little switch - so I could properly A/B every one of the modules against my other components. I found the DAC and AVC/tubestage to be highly highly resolving, but not as tonally or harmonically rich as my Lampizator level 4+ DAC or Dude tube preamp. But that could have been a matter of taste for some. LIO was very high quality performance here and quite competitive with top shelf electronics if you ask me.
But the mosfet amp itself was nowhere near the same level of resolution, refinement as my Line Magnetic 518 amp bypassing its own preamp stage. I would consider the mosfet amp the weak link in the LIO, but LIO could be highly competitive as a DAC/preamp with the right configuration and tube selection. And I have no doubt that the DHT upgrade is a big one - because I've heard what that kind of output stage can do when I upgraded to the Lampizator Big7.
So, I'm not surprised to hear the STM's beat out the LIO amp stage, but I'd encourage Rex and others to try other amps with LIO to see if you like how it compares to your other DAC's/preamps.
email publisher@stereomojo.com and tell them you would like to see them review the marashinos.Actually, James said our review is next up! A pair of KING Maraschinos were reviewed last year for Stereo Mojo. So, I'd say "great idea!".
Check it out:Yes, we realize the REAL price is HALF of what appears in the article. I sent James an email to let him know. Thanks for reading Marvin's review!

Amps are often not considered as a serious source of transparency or outlet for improved fidelity. But anyone knowing of names such as Krell, Threshold, and Mark Levinson may well disagree. The qualities associated with good amplification include wide and deep soundstaging, focused instrumental imaging, quiet backgrounds, explosive dynamics, and when called for … slam! And they are all in abundance here in this high bias frequency Class D monoblock amplifier. From the small pair of packages (4 pieces for stereo left and right) connected by less than a foot of finely braided solid-core cable is unleashed a torrent of current and voltage that easily isolates and controls all aspects of you loudspeaker's drivers; no matter the number or size per channel. It is my assessment that these Golden Cherry are easily able to accommodate up to (nearly) 300 watts of unceasing high current balanced Class D power into a 6 ohm average load with precision, grace, voluptuousness, and see-through transparency; allowing the essence (forgive the pun) of the music to come through apparently unhindered or abated. I listened to over a 1000 different albums in the course of reviewing the below mentioned Ceratec Mk. IV Loudspeakers and of the available choices, both analog and digital for increasing volume to the speakers through amplification including both tube and solid state choices from over 30 years, these Cherry amps were easily able to negotiate what most often appears a done deal in terms of improved interaction with one's music. These Golden Cherry Amps revitalized every pair of speakers I connected them to in any of the many different arrays of systems I auditioned them in, including speakers by Ologe Acoustic, Snell, Ceratec, Symdex, Waterfall Audio, Bose & Cambridge Sound Works.

Stereo Maraschino won a Stereo Times Most Wanted Component Award ! Review on the way....
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=155260)
I am with you in wondering at the relative quiet on the Maraschino and the DAC DAC front.
John
i thought i purchased the stereo version of the maraschino on feb 4th - (i got a receipt from paypal) - but still no acknowledgement from the company. and i sent emails as well?
Stereo Times review is up:Thanks, Mike. Regarding the new PF review, it should be out pretty soon, but I'll ask.
http://www.stereotimes.com/post/stereo-maraschino-amplifier/ (http://www.stereotimes.com/post/stereo-maraschino-amplifier/)
Another great review, Tommy, congrats.
I remain puzzled that the DAC products get great review after great review with what seems to me like little attention.
But hell, talk about another me-too ncore-in-a-box and people come out of the woodwork...
Tommy, any idea when the PF review will be up? From the excerpt above that review should stellar.
-Mike
I am with you in wondering at the relative quiet on the Maraschino and the DAC DAC front. I have now installed inline Maraschinos in two very different systems and settings, and they shine in both. I am also using the TL DAC DAC to great effect.
I have written about the magic of Maraschinos with GR Research Wedgies, but I haven't given a full account of the Maraschinos on Legacy Audio's Classics (the ones with the black domes). The Classics are the first pair of good speakers I heard and that I owned, and I am now using them nearly daily for Netflix and occasionally for Tidal. I am mesmerized by the open-baffle sound of the Wedgies, but had I started with DAC equipment on the Classics I may never have looked any further. The combination of the TL DAC DAC and the King Maraschinos make movie and show soundtracks impactful and utterly enveloping. The Classics combine a bunch of drivers with a complex crossover, and the Maraschinos, brought to life by the DAC DAC, handle them handily at a whisper as well as a shout, not to mention explosions. There is no need to consider adding subs with the grip on bass the Maraschinos provide, and the sound comes through glowingly clear and smooth through the entire frequency range.
The new review points out something I learned about Tommy when I first dealt with him -- he really listens and constantly seeks ways to offer equipment that will fit each customer's needs. I am running nearly identical sets of Maraschinos with two different sets of power supplies, as recommended by Tommy, and each set is just right for the system. I consider Tommy more an audio consultant than a salesman, and he has always responded in full whenever I have asked his advice.
Each review reinforces what I hear every day -- I hope others tune in and get to hear the same!
John
"WOW! I got my STM a few days ago, and I have to give credit where credit is due. “Tommy you did good” as a Southern nanny might say. I was using my vinyl setup to play a few of my favorite tunes first. I then moved things to the digital side of the room and found just as much favor with the STM as on the analog side. The is a tune by C. McVie on her wonderful solo album called “Gotta A Hold On Me”, and for many amplifies the backing vocals on lessor amplifies are very harsh and fatiguing. Not the case with the STM. The song has a great bass-line and some snap from the percussion instruments. I have heard this song on many amplifiers. You have to spend lots more money to do a better job!"

Are you using the King Stereo Maraschino STM (60V) which is a single stereo unit or the King 60V Desktop Maraschino which is two separate modules? Digital Amplifier Company's product line can be just a bit confusing...Complete dual mono- two desktop monoblocks and 2 PSs. I wanted to get the stiffest drive I could for the Avalons. Easier to drive speakers may not need this.
I have had a lot of Class D amps come through my system and none has come close to my Cherry amps in detail and transparency.I've had quite a few as well, starting with a BelCanto EVO200.2 (not too good), several PS Audio Icepower amps, stock and modded (somewhat opaque, veiled top end). I felt the N-Core was a real step up in transparency, though still a bit hashy and bright on top. The modded NuPrime ST-10 is better yet, having a very nice balance of traits and no particular weaknesses. (I'm still using 2 NuPrime DAC10H in my systems, 1 stock and 1 modded, and have no plans to change). I still use the N-core in my office and a TBI Millenia in the bedroom (nice sounding, sweet, musical).
I recently bought a pair of Avalon Opus speakers, with ceramic mids and tweets and a dual 9" woofer system. Like many Avalons, they are known as a finicky speaker to get sounding right. They are easily the highest resolution speaker of the 250 or so pairs I've owned, which cuts both ways, of course.Just an long term update. After 5 months and ~600 hours listening, I wouldn't change a word. I believe these amps have revolutionized high end amplification. Tommy's amps can get you off the amp (and DAC) merry go round.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=168460)
Today I got the King Maraschinos up and running, and they are everything I wanted and more.
What a g** d*** superb amp!
The Avalons are now singing like nothing I've heard in my home in my 49 years in the hobby.
Transparency, image depth, width and solidity, bottom end control. Beautiful detail, air, and delicacy on top. All aces. Perfect immediacy and astonishing detail, yet with notably less brightness and glare. The whole enchilada.
I've probably owned 75 good amps over the years, too, and heard a great many more. Matchups tell the final tale, of course, but these little guys stand tall with anything I've heard at $10k or under, IMO, and would embarrasssomeMANY higher priced units.
My simple advice if you are looking for a truly great amp that will do justice to even the finest speakers- just contact Tommy and try one. Pretty simple, no brain required.
The top-end is the best I have heard from a Class D amp so far. It is nicely textured and extended, but compared to my reference Pass 30.8, there is an ever so slight amount of homogenization in the upper octaves, but it is ever so slight.The top-end is nicely detailed, and it has no glare or edginess. The truth is that it is quite beautiful.
The other thing I would say about the MEGAschino is that it has great attack and definition in the midrange without sounding aggressive or the least bit “transitory.” It sounds smooth throughout its frequency range, and it also seems more tonally accurate than other Class D amps. For that matter, it also sounds better than most transistor amps. Vocals were played with an incredibly clear window on the performance, and instruments seemed to be right there in the room with me. Vocals also had good body and weight.
It has a bit of the bloom in the midrange that I most often associate with single-ended Triode tube amps. It also lets you hear the layering of the music like SET amps. Now don’t get me wrong, the MEGAschino will never be mistaken for a SET tube amp, but it does give you just a touch of their magic but with much more power. I was rather surprised by this...
Stereo MEGAschino: $6,100
MONO MEGAschino: $9,800/pr or $5,000
Sometimes the resulting measurements are used to determine a designer's skill level. This is true if the measurements indicate simply poor performance. There is a performance level below which an amplifier is considered to be solidly "mid-fi" or "lo-fi". Let's say 100dB SNR and 0.1% THD+N as an example. If measurements are in the "green zone", they may be there because the designer chose the numbers over the sound.
Could you tell us about your wife from that perspective and perhaps post a picture?
Maty,
Every time I click on a link and read one of your posts I get the impression you are obsessed with measurements, as if there was nothing else to consider. Could you tell us about your wife from that perspective and perhaps post a picture?
A technical question deserves a technical answer.
For me a good measurement is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The world of audio is full of gadgets and somehow we have to make a screen.
I do not understand why I have found so many Class D amplifiers that have such a small SNR. We are not talking about tubes but rather a very advanced solid-state technology.
In the interview you say you are an engineer then you should understand my need for measurements and graphs.
In any case I have only asked a simple question, and what is generic. I do not ask about your amplifiers.
A technical question deserves a technical answer.
Very interesting interview!!!This thread is for posting reviews, not so much for open discussion. So.... I'll copy this answer here:
What minimum of SNR at 1 watt does Digital Amplifier Company consider reasonable or acceptable in Class-D amplifiers?
I know the maths but I have found too often that the data advertised by the manufacturers do not coincide with the independent measurements. It was something I already knew with class AB but I was surprised that it also happened with Class D amplifiers.Repeating what I said above:
Same problems with speakers manufacturers: sensitivity and nominal impedance. And then some complain that the speakers do not sound as good as many say. Or sell them accompanied by amplifiers that do not have the necessary power to sound with all their splendor.

Very good specs.
And thank you very much.
It’s fair to say that compared to most other amps I had on hand, including audiophile favorites like the Crown Macro Reference (1992 / 650 watts Stereo), Carver Black Magic 20 Monoblocks (2013 / Tube 40 Watts), Mesa Boogie Baron (1996 / Tube Stereo Monoblock 160 Watts), McIntosh MC2102 (Stereo 200 watt Tube), McIntosh MC2301 (Monoblock 400 watt tube), Rogers High Fidelity EHF-100 Mk. 2(2016 Tube Stereo 65 Watts), and Mark Levinson No. 53 (150 Watt Quad Balanced Monoblock), the Golden Cherry Amps were as good as the very best parts of any of those very different brands while distinguishing itself for sounding so honest, direct, captivating, and accurate that they were my go to for both audio production work on my audiophile label, Epiphany Recordings Ltd. and simple pure enjoyment. Countless hours of movies, 4k & HD streaming videos, analog records played on high-end tables (including the ELP analog Laser-based turntable), reel-to-reel master tapes, video games, SACDs and CDs, you name it . . . my first choice for listening became the Golden Cherries!
How much lead time do you need to build AND deliver a Megachino stereo amp? Please be as accurate as possible. ThanksIt varies week by week, depending on materials, but we have a few Stereo MEGA demos that can be shipped in less than a week. All of our demos are fully re-tested and repackaged. New MEGAs typically take 2 weeks from order to shipment. Or.... If you're willing to wait, a super low price is available here (includes the new MEGA MK2, DAC DACs, and more):
Congrats, Tommy!Thanks, Pete!
I have just joined the club, got a pair of red DTM amps, with 30V supplies.Welcome! We are honored to be a part of your audio system.

Clayton Shaw posted this on his Spatial Audio page:Thanks, Ron! Here's the post link:
I have had a pair of the Cherry Desktop amps in listening room No. 2 for several months now and I have been very impressed. They are the best sounding amps we have tested under $3000. I would not have guessed they were Class D. I think it is high time we drop the emphasis on the class of amp circuit, as the lines are becoming blurred by many different and good sounding approaches. Tommy definitely has something special with his design as others have noted. They certainly mate with my speaker designs exceptionally well.

I received my 2-Cherry many weeks ago and upon feeling the well packed box (it was light) I thought "Oh-oh"..."There is no way this little box will make me grin." But once everything was connected to my Martin Logan Motion 40's and Benchmark USB DAC1 and I hit play off of some favorite saved Tidal tracks spanning from jazz to blues to electronica, there I was grinning ear to ear saying "Oh-oh" again. These things sing and allow music to come alive! There’s a responsive low end and an impressive spacial ‘image’, especially in the upper ranges. The upper end is very crisp and yet natural – not at all harsh. The dynamics are better than I have heard from any amp I’ve been able to either own or play around with. I admit that I don't understand all of the audiophile terms used today just as I don't understand the terminologies used to describe wines or craft beers. I just know what I like and I am absolutely stunned at what this little amp can do. In cooler months, I like to enjoy a tube amplifier for some music, but I am not missing the power hungry and room broiling tubes at all right now even if we were having nice and cool weather because this amp has been impressing me non-stop since it arrived. I will likely contradict myself again by summing it up by stating, the Two-Cherry is transparent yet musical at the same time. It just sounds great no matter what its cranking out! One day I hope to have the pleasure of listening through the Maraschino's.

DAC DAC 2 HS and Cherry USB REVIEW in Audio Persuit:
https://www.audiopursuit.com/2020/08/cherry-dac-dac-2-hs.html
“The DAC DAC 2 HS may not be flashy, but its performance is equal to any in its price range. Not only are the basics done right, but just as important, every bit of sonic quality is wrung out.”

This was a great review!Thanks! Rick told me afterward that he's never been so sorry to send a review component back!
Owners, I read several reviews on the Cherry amps, all were good but most had one big but...overtones, shimmer, decay issues, yes, they are fast, but the tail end of the reverb is MIA. Seems the same is said of the PS Audio 1200 class D monoblocks, perhaps it a trade off with the technology, like I am sure many of you would say class A or A/B amps have issues.
Sounds like you made the right move, moving from a receiver.
Nice review. Happy to hear it beat a Rotel. I would expect it would. Now let's see it against a Krell or Pass, ARC, or Levinson amps. I am somewhat curious about these class D amps.Vs Pass:
Nice review. Happy to hear it beat a Rotel. I would expect it would. Now let's see it against a Krell or Pass, ARC, or Levinson amps. I am somewhat curious about these class D amps.I have compared my Maraschino Kings to Shindo, Crayon, Berning and Spectral amps owned by friends, all different architecture, and while they all sound different, neither I nor their owners would say they sound "better", but system matching is important at this level of performance.
Does Stereo Megaschino has 2kw for each channel?Max power out for a MEGAschino is 1000W into 4 ohms, but this can go a bit higher. The MEGA can briefly (until the caps run out) output 2kW into 2 ohms.
Max power out for a MEGAschino is 1000W into 4 ohms, but this can go a bit higher. The MEGA can briefly (until the caps run out) output 2kW into 2 ohms.
Continuous power output is more about the transformer size, and instantaneous power output is more about the rail caps.
Cherry Amps dissipate more power during idle than other, more typical Class-D types, but the high power output efficiency is very high, allowing the caps to be more effective.
The continuous power output of a standard Stereo MEGA is more than 650Wpc into 4 ohms. The MEGA MONO with the 1500W transformer upgrade puts out more than 850W continuous. Please keep in mind that music is transient in nature, so continuous power ratings can be somewhat misleading.
Thank you. For driving JTR 215TS what are the best options in addition to monoblocks?
I meant Megaschino stereo, x cherry or older models for moderate volume levels.Here's a new thread about your question:
Well the new Maraschino King 60V Desktop Amplifiers with double rail caps arrives, Set up took all of 5min. All I can say is that they opened up the top end of my Tekton Enzo 2.7s 1000%. Everything else just seems to be tighter. Not one for all the mumbo jumbo adjectives but I can tell you that the Maraschino amps work well with the Tekton arrays. Now the waiting game for my New Tekton Moabs (2-3 months). For reference this is my Class D system and the previous amp was a VTV AMPLIFIER Stereo Hypex NC502MP NCore 500WX2. Night and day difference.
