The Merrill Audio Cara sends the music crystal clear throughout the system making it difficult to stick a signature on it. Speed and openness are two characteristics that stand out. The Merrill Cara got the best out of our Benchmark power amplifier and let our Metrum Onyx shine. This transparent preamplifier adds little or nothing to the reproduction and that’s how it should be. With the fully balanced Cara as a hatch our set plays smoothly, fast and with lots of punch. Lovely!
For whom
For whom is the Merrill Audio Cara actually. Well, that’s simple. For the adventurous customer who wants something different. Someone who is looking for a serious preamplifier with a distinctive look. Someone who makes an effort to get to know the product and endorses the philosophy of the designer. This is a brand for gourmets who want just that little bit more and the Merrill Audio Cara delivers on all fronts. It’s a great preamp. Period.
