Munich High-End - hifideluxe 2022
Finally we have met again with music lovers and were able to share, listen and present the complete ensemble in the largest salon of the Munich’s high-end exhibitions. After the introduction of the prototype of the anticipated PHS 7.2 phono preamplifier in 2019, this edition was marked by the presentation of the final version in two models as well as the introduction of the Orose® products’ enclosures, mechanics and finishes. Visitors could experience the result of our past years intensive research and development activities, dedication and involvement for the music, through an always eclectic selection of musical pieces, from the very first vinyl LP presented by Columbia in 1949 (brought from our personal collection to celebrate the release of the phono preamplifiers) to today’s productions.
The JMF Audio collection 2022 was presented in the usual black and white atmosphere, unveiling the following exclusives:
- The anticipated PHS 7.2 and the unexpected flagship PHS 7.3 new dual-mono phono preamplifiers...
- The Orose® solid anodized aluminum enclosures with bespoke steel buttons, rose-gold filled engravings and logo, for all the product range…
- The new JMF Audio designed carbon fiber IEC plug featuring JMF Audio contacts for the PC3 cord…
- GRAMMY Awards winner album LUX and three other nominated albums since 2019, recorded with the JMF Audio PCD 302...

As usual, the ensemble was entirely wired with JMF Audio cables: CM4-PHONO, DP5, PC3 cords, CM8 modulation and SR8 loudspeaker cables.
Music pieces of all genres, of all periods and formats were played. Connoisseurs were invited to appreciate the desirable ability of the JMF Audio products to offer an immersive, faithful, emotional and universal presentation of music.

Welcome to the hifideluxe, Marriott Hotel, Munich.
Frank Sinatra “Songs For Swingin' Lovers” the SACD remastered by MOFI from the master tapes compared to the 1956 original American first vinyl pressing played through the PHS 7.3 phono pre-amplifier. Although the LP’s inner sleeve mentioned the recording was made RIAA, the demonstration proved that the unique features of the PHS 7.3 are essential to the music lovers who wish to enjoy their collection in the correct tonality.
In addition to LPs recorded in JMF Audio's amplifiers equipped recordings studios, Columbia’s very first LP “Mendelssohn: concerto in E minor by the Philharmonic-Symphony of New York” ML 4001 “nonbreakable” dating 1949 was played to reviewer and vinyl specialist Michael Fremer from the USA to enlighten the unique features of the PHS 7.3 intended for the record collectors.
The JMF Audio’s chief engineers introduced the newly appointed sales representatives Audio Skies (USA and Canada) and Ibex Audio (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
