About the CARA

The Merrill Audio CARA is a fully analog, balanced line-stage preamplifier designed for low noise, high drive capability, and long-cable operation. Merrill Audio describes it as using transformer-like circuitry to achieve strong common-mode noise rejection while retaining the gain, drive, and bandwidth of active circuitry. It was introduced at AXPONA 2016 and listed by Merrill Audio at $3,500.00. It is now superseded by the Christine reference preamplifier on Merrill Audio’s site, indicating CARA is no longer the current flagship model and is likely discontinued or no longer manufactured as a current product line item.
