I was wondering if anyone on here was still using JCF converters. Every bit of information I can find about them has been very positive but there haven't been a lot of reviews that are longer than a forum post. And they have been around for more than a decade.
Also, if anyone has used the LATTE, how would you describe the preamps in them? Can they be compared to anything?

Rai Thistlethwayte is one of the most talented people I've ever met. I've booked him a couple of times and Will came to see him and hang out. Those two are tight and both totally down to earth guys.

I have 16 Channels of JCF AD 8 and I love it for its natural analogue character. Zero Digital artifice....
I also have prism, Metric Halo and Lynx (N)
Tracking with the JCFs just sound like the pinnacle of vintage HIFI...
I also Have a mic pre and comp that I had Josh make that function as my go to vocal chain.

I did a record with a jazz group last month in a room with all JCF converters. Mastering labs preamps too! I just started mixing it today, the sound is amazing. We have prism in our studio here and are very happy too.

The JCfs are the clear winner in my mind.
My favorite overall AD ever made for tracking..

I also own a couple of other preamps from Josh. What I would say is that they have the clearest high end I've ever heard and are some of the least harsh, smoothest pres you'll find. I suppose that reads as very colored to some but I'd argue that the JCF does a better job of representing the analog signal than most other converters I've heard. Thank you for all the insights everyone! Oneiro, clearest high end and least harsh is one of the nicest combinations to hear about a pre.
Everyone's examples all sound so effortless.. beautiful stuff.

I would have bought one of these awhile ago if I wasn’t so happy with the Apogee Special Editions.
