“This hand-made French brand has a small but exceptionally well-curated portfolio of audio electronics. It comprises a single-line preamplifier, two phono preamps, a stereo and two mono power amplifiers, and two power filter/conditioners. All of them are built to an extremely high standard and deliver outstanding performance, putting them amongst the very best. The products are subject to ongoing refinement, but JMF Audio doesn’t change models every year or two. Maybe that’s why the brand flies under the radar: they don’t exist on the second-hand market. Almost everyone who buys a JMF Audio amplifier keeps it!” —Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+
PRS 1.5 preamplifier and HQS 6002 power amplifier raise a simple question. What’s your motivation for buying high-end audio? The obvious answer is ‘to get better sound’. Many will also add something along the lines of ‘for exemplary mechanical construction’. But if all of that is the case, why isn’t JMF Audio as well-known as the ‘big names’ in high-end amplification?
