Munich High-End - hifideluxe 2023
It was a real pleasure to welcome music lovers from all continents again and present the complete ensemble in the largest salon of the Munich’s high-end exhibitions. After the introduction of the anticipated PHS 7.3 and PHS 7.2 phono preamplifiers and the Orose® products’ enclosures and finishes in 2022, visitors could experience the result of our intensive research and development activities, dedication and involvement for the music, through an always eclectic and sometimes surprising selection of musical pieces, from the firsts vinyls to today’s productions.
The JMF Audio collection 2023 was presented in the usual black and white atmosphere, unveiling the following exclusives:
- PLS, the new advanced linear power supply for the PHS 7.3 / 7.2 phono pre-amplifiers and the PRS 1.5 line pre-amplifier...
- The HQS 6002 version G in Orose® silver and the PCD 102 in Orose® black…
- POLARITY, by GRAMMY nominated pianist, the first vinyl record ever recorded with the JMF Audio PCD 302...
- TUVAYHUN, the new album recorded with the JMF Audio PCD 302, received two nominations for the GRAMMY Awards last January...
The complete JMF Audio ensemble serving the music with the most advanced analog playback composed of the new dual-mono PHS 7.3 phono pre-amplifier, the HQS 9001 flagship mono amplification controlled with the PRS 1.5 pre-amplifier, all powered through the top of the range PCD 302 mains filter. 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.
Recordings ranging from the glorious 50’s to the latest GRAMMY nominated album TUVAYHUN, “Beatitudes for a Wounded World” recorded by 2L with the JMF Audio PCD 302, through the immensely popular collective “We are the World” (original vinyl version): our messages for peace.

Some of the comments:
“How was the sound of the JMF Audio system? Superb, of course. What I love most about JMF is its rare ability to make the music sound lit from within. In a way, this is one of my highest forms of praise for audio, and a quality that is only evident in the finest gear I’ve heard. This means that the music is highlighted in a way that draws you in closer and lets you bear witness to the intentions and meanings of every note…” […] “Munich 2023 was a treasure trove of state-of-the-art gear, the so-called Big Stuff, and JMF certainly deserves a seat at the summit.”
Marc Phillips, reviewer for PTA, USA
