Merrill Audio CARA Preamplifier | Favorite High End Brand of Jay's Audio Lab!

Upgrade Time!

Fully balanced preamp. Made in the USA.

Sonically clean, quiet, and dynamic! The presentation drew me even deeper into the music.

It's one of the best preamp values out there. Only $2,300 and $69 shipping within the contiguous US!

Phenomenal Kratos external power supply!

We've really enjoyed this preamp. Again, it's silent and dynamic with a deep and expansive sound stage. Why am I selling? I've switched my DAC to one with a volume control that does not need a preamp (DAC runs directly to the amps); thus, this beauty will go to a great home.

Included: Preamp, external power supply with Merrill cable, owner's manual, factory box, and remote. Note: the two little red bags in the photo are not included. Our daughter claimed them : )

ADDED BONUS: Four Isoacoustics GAIA vibration isolation feet - A $200 value!



Reviewer's Thoughts: "Track after track, the Cara seemed to present music with impressive dynamics, vivid tonal color and excellent soundstaging. In addition, the high frequencies had an admirable degree of refinement, while bass was deep, tight and well-paced."

From Merrill Audio: "Transparency, fluidity, detail, subtlety, spaciousness, delicacy, at the right time, with the requisite speed to stay on top of the most dynamic musical events, Cara was welcomed into the audiophile world as a benchmark product, excitedly discussed, shared, slotted into systems comprising the finest music reproduction products available."
