Munich High-End - hifideluxe 2024
As always, the Munich High-End audio exhibitions allowed us to present our latest achievements and meet or reconnect with music lovers and audio enthusiasts from all over the world. This year was however special as the JMF Audio Instruments for the Music were presented in three rooms, at two different locations, while on the cover of American magazine The Absolute Sound:
JMF Audio’s reference and complete ensemble at the hifideluxe, in the largest room of the Marriott Hotel, Salon C, May 10-12.
JMF Audio’s analog suites including mains filtering at the High-End (MOC), Atrium 4.2 room E222 (Ibex Audio) and in Hall 3 booth K08 (Baun Audio), May 9-10 for press and trade, May 11-12 for non-trade visitors.
Through an eclectic and sometimes surprising selection of musical pieces, visitors of the Hifideluxe had the privilege to discover the first prototypes of the HQS 9001 flagship mono power amplifiers in version G ; result of our intensive research and development activities, dedication and involvement for the music.
Indeed, two additional years have been necessary for the version G, available for the HQS 6002 and HQS 7001 amplifiers since 2022, to be developed for the HQS 9001.
Hifideluxe at the Mariott hotel: the JMF Audio reference 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.
Most of the demonstrations were made purely analog from early 50’s vinyls (pre-RIAA curves compensated from the PHS 7.3 phono pre-amplifier) to today’s productions. Popular or exclusive but rarely conventional music pieces ; we like to share our discoveries and rediscoveries.
Connoisseurs were invited to appreciate the desirable ability of the JMF Audio products to offer an immersive, faithful, emotional and universal presentation of music.

The presentations at the High-End (MOC) allowed the visitors to experience the JMF Audio amplification and mains filtering in different room sizes and acoustics, with different sources and loudspeakers (omni-directional and traditional)
To the long time audio enthusiasts, musicians, sound engineers, editors, music lovers, we say thank you for your passion and quest for the best instruments to play and feel the music. We are thankful to the organization and to the increasing number of exhibitors for enlivening this event.
Music lovers have always entered the JMF Audio family by acquiring a single product, inserted it in their current setup and enjoyed the musical benefit. Now that JMF Audio proposes all elements, a dream has been made reality...
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
