Just a few of the stellar reviews below:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/christine-preamplifier-merrill-audio/ “While the Christine does not quite scale into the nether regions like my CH Precision L1 preamplifier, at its price point it's killer. I can't think of a competitor that would stand up. I urge you to consider adding it (and the Jens) to your short list for audition." https://www.tonepublications.com/review/the-merrill-christine-pre-and-jens-phono/ “The good news is that both the Merrill Audio Christine linestage and the Jens phonostage are two world class components, revealing a tremendous amount of music, while leaving no sonic signature of their own. No small feat for any linestage or preamplifier at any price. Considering that the Christine tips the scale at $13,000 and the Jens at $15,500, you might even consider them a bargain. That will depend on your meal plan”. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0517/Merrill_Audio_Christine_Reference_Stereo_Preamplifier_Review.htm https://www.hifiplus.com/articles/merrill-audio-christine-line-stage-preamplifier/ “So, it’s a thumbs up for the Merrill Christine and its Kratos power supply. Give it a serious system to control and it will just lay the music out before you without exerting any apparent stranglehold or imposing too much of its own character on the power amplifier. It is tight, nicely controlled and also tonally quite sweet and I would imagine that it will have broad appeal whether you listen with your heart or your head”.
