JMF Audio: Any experience with JMF Amps/Transport?

Any JMF owners out there? The recent show reports from Munich and the bits I've been able to find on the internet have me very interested in knowing more about this French company that seems to manufacture gear that has turned some heads and caused music lovers to leave some much more pricey high-end gear behind.

Specifically, I am interested in any owners with info to share hear about their experiences with;

- HQS9001 mono amp
- HQS7001 mono amp
- HQS6002 stereo amp
- DMT 3.7 (NEW this month) transport
- DCX 2.2 MK2 DAC

Any links to discussion threads, system pics, etc and your comments on how this gear sounds would be appreciated.

I've attempted to contact them via email as well but have not yet heard back.....if you know of their distributors or dealers in the US or Europe, I'd be grateful having contact info, etc....

Thanks!

I have intensive experience with JMF stereo DAC , pre , stereo power , line conditioner & full loom cables in my friend's system that using Magico Q3 .

Me & few audiophile friends did the AB test very carefully:
- JMF dac to Burmester 001 as cdp (use as cd transport for dac) , Esoteric P-02 & D-02 , Naim 555 also Burmester 969 cdt / 970 dac.
Results: JMF dac + Burmester 969 cdt combination is better than all above digital source. 

- Pre JMF better than his previous pre : FM Acoustics 255 mk. II. He was using Levinson no. 32 , Burmester & several other preamps before FMA pre.

- HQS-6002 pwr compared with Soulution 710 , Burmester 911 mk. 3 , Chord SPM-6000 monos & Accuphase A-200 monos. 
HQS-6002 better in all aspects in very big margin .

- JMF power conditioner a lot better than current Torus flagship power conditioner & Burmester power conditioner. 

JMF has very low noise floor , musicality that compareable to single ended triode (i'm a SET lover) , very refined & realistic sound that i never heard from other big brands.
Actually me & my friends were not expected the results since JMF was unknown before .

You won't believe if you not hear by yourself .
