Feel free to post comments here :)
Please contribute to our worthy cause! Thank you.

Note that the 60V versions (Standard and KING) have DUAL power supplies!

What an awesome idea. Good luck with the Kickstarter campaign. I hope it brings you lots of success :thumb:

Hope you decide to back our project, even if it's only at the tshirt level.
Have a great weekend!

First pair of 60V KING Hanging Maraschinos now allocated !

Please let us know if you spot any typos! Thanks.

Maraschino reviews:
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=127654.0
Please note that the reviews thread is a work in progress!
-
We added a $25 level. For this level, we will send an official "Audio Technology Champion" electronic certificate (saving the trees). More importantly, this project supports small company technology development. Thanks.
-
We're at 27% so far.
We really need to increase the number of backers even if they are only in for $1!
Please support small business, audio technology development, and the work of a company that puts customers FIRST, where they belong!
Thanks.

I want to back this but i don't do Facebook. Do i really need to register myself on Facebook?

Your profile does not allow PMs or email contact, so I must post it here. I'm not sure how critical you want us to be, but here are a couple typos:
"This CHERRY is a real winner." The 'a' is missing.
"We have prototyped the In-Line Maraschino design to prove feasibility." Prototype is not a verb. You could say, "We have created a prototype of the..."

Michael,
Thanks for the head's up on the typos! By the way, my profile on AC allows PMs. Does the Kickstarter one not allow them? I'll try to message you on here to test. Thanks again.

Facebook isn't required. You can register on Kickstarter. Amazon takes the payments, by the way, so it's really easy to donate if you already have an Amazon account. If you have a problem registering on Kickstarter, please reply on this thread, and I'll try to help. Thanks!

Only one (of 5) KING 60V IN-LINE MARASCHINO set left:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/378044010/in-line-maraschino
We have reached almost 37% of our funding goal so far.
Thanks to all for the kind words, especially the compliments on my kids :)
Still much work to do, so please donate if you haven't already. Even $1 helps.
Have a great weekend!

Had no problems. :thumb:
And again thumbs up for your project and any future ones. :wink:
-
5 of 5 KINGs now allocated! We're thinking of adding more KINGs at a slightly higher price. There are three lower cost options to get your "hanging Maraschinos", including $750/pr prototypes....

Typos fixed.....

Just became a backer at the level to get a pair of prototype amps. I've loved the idea and reviews of the Maraschinos for awhile, but they've been outside my budget previously.

Awesome! Thanks, Eric!

We added 5 more KING pairs!
Check out the comments section for spec information (from Desktop Maraschino).
Please help us spread the word! Thanks.

We're over 60% now, but with only 18 days left, we're trying for a push before the weekend. We want to get the number of backers way up for increased visibility. Even the smallest contribution counts, plus we have super high performance amp PAIRS at only $750, power cords included....

Question/answer about Kickstarter Maraschino vs Desktop Maraschino:
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=127087.msg1353353#msg1353353
-
Your page looked as though it were tired of the $11k level, so I pushed it into the $12k level. It seems much happier now. :wink: I'm looking forward to an XLarge T-shirt. The kickstart pledge system did not allow for a size choice.
Best of luck!
Michael

With 15 days to go it's gonna be a close call if the donating slows down. For those seeking new amps, i can only recommend ordering these in-line amps.
Don't be put off by their small size, bigger don't go hand in hand with better, they come with a separate power supply. that's also why they can be so small.
I have the Maraschino Cherry's and not only professional reviewers but users like me are very happy with these, and the superb sound they produce!
Get this back on track people!
-
With only 13 days left and a little over 70% funded, we are calling for your help to give us that extra push. Timing is everything, so with the Labor Day weekend approaching in the states and back-to-school in full swing, we ask that social media and word of mouth be used to get those "hedging backers" to pull the trigger. Once again, we thank you for your kind support.
One more thing..... If there are lingering unanswered questions, we ask that you let us know. We would also like to start filling in the FAQ this week, so feel free to add questions there. The project owner isn't allowed to add questions.
Have a great day :)
-
Oops..... Looks like we CAN add FAQ on Kickstarter! It seems to only work with the non-mobile version of the site. Still, feel free to let us know if you'd like to add a question, or simply try posting it. Thanks.
-
Getting ready for week 3 of 4.....
We're thinking of adding more rewards! Any requests?
Thanks to all who have helped spread the word.

One obvious thing mentioned on the campaign page, but unaddressed, is the speaker cables.
Also, an option to upgrade the prototype 48V to a 60V supply?

Speaker cables: We decided to include two pairs of 4" Hanging Maraschino Dual Locking Banaba cables for $100 more (see Kickstarter comments section).
Upgrade to 60V supply: We plan to offer an upgrade path after the campaign.
Thanks for your kind post.

It's looking good since we're almost to 90% with about a week to go ;)
-
Just finished looking at your Kickstarter.
Looks great!
Good demo video.
Loved your kids being involved!
Glad to see that you have almost reached the goal.
What happens when you exceed it??!!
By the way, would have liked the picture to have expanded when I clicked on it (just to get a better view of those units).
Not far to go now.
Once again a great presentation.
And the incentives are good too!!
All the best.

Bruce,
Thanks for the compliments and support.
We are considering "stretch goals" for our final week. Being a first-timer on Kickstarter, we are not sure if the things we would like to add fit their policy, so we'll keep you posted in the comments section. We plan to add several things there during the next few days.
Here are some In-Line Maraschino photos......

Keep in mind the production units won't have those screws on top. Instead, the surface will be clean. Here's a photo of the desktop Maraschino with the new "screw less" case:

Well since I already have a pr of Maraschinos w/ a single 60V supply, I figured I'd at least pick up a T-shirt!
I do want a second 60V supply because..well...because I want one.
Good luck w/ the time left.
To be honest I hadn't looked at the KS campaign until a few days ago and I had no idea they Hangers were going for so little :thumb:
T- I've been talking to my dad and were gonna try my pair on his Revel Salon 2's one of these days - Should be interesting...

As we enter our last day of this campaign, we cannot say enough to express our gratitude to our backers!
For the last day only, we added a "procrastinator's special" 60V Desktop Maraschino reward at $2750 (regularly $3800).

I don't check AC that often, so I missed this, or I would've been sure to throw some cash your way. Glad you made it!

Tommy,
Is it possible to order the Hanging Maraschino Cherry for those of us still kicking ourselves for not buying into the Kickstarter?
Thanks,

I'm guessing you are talking about the MINT Maraschino Kickstarter. We are discussing it. Maybe we'll add a reward for that......

By popular demand.....
We've added two new rewards:
$1300 - 48V In-Line Maraschino PAIR (5 available)
$2200 - KING 60V In-Line Maraschino PAIR (5 available)
These are full production units. Add $100 and get two pair of locking banana speaker wires. These can be used to hang the In-Line Maraschino from your speakers. Output is up to 800Wpc (KING version)!
Some have said the Maraschino is the "best sounding amp in the world". Hopefully, the MINT Maraschino project will get the word out.
As always, THANK YOU, BACKERS!
p.s. We also added a features list in the text.
-
You have the regular 48V hangers and the King 60V hangers showing the same price ($1900 list). Mistake?
-

Yup, typo! Thanks. $3200 is list for the KING 60V In-Line Maraschino, available only in black, by the way. We added that too....
-
By the way, we are working to add the In-Line Maraschino to our website ASAP. We didn't want to put it up until after all the Kickstarter units from the last project shipped. Well, that was a few weeks ago, so any day now.....

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!
