Following Jasmine's turntable and tone arm, Mr. Nagai, Bakoon Products representative, also evaluated the cartridge. It is an impression after using exactly two months.
Four types of MC cartridges: the MM Cartridge M Series, which is affordable from Jasmine, and the Nature Series, which is given the names "Wind," "Forest," "Fire" and "Mountain." and the chinese traditionCeramicThe high-end MC cartridge B&W ceramics series is a series of ambitious cartridges that are quite conscious of Chinese tradition and latest technology even the manufacturer itself, which is modeled on four kinds of phantom beasts: "blue dragon," "white tiger," "suzaku" and "genbu."

Jasmine MM Cartridge Series - Click here for

Jasmine MM cartridge. There are three types of MM cartridges: M1, M2, and M0. The M2 is a mid-level product with a bonding elliptic needle attached to a hard coated aluminum cantilever. Japanese bonding needles are mainly made of metal titanium and diamond chips, but made in China, it is considered that the base is transparent and sapphire. Recommended needle pressure is 2.5g. If it is a sapphire, I think that it works favorably because the specific gravity is smaller than titanium. In Jasmine's cartridge, I was impressed that the signal pin arrangement can be connected straight without having to swap left and right in 1:1 with the pin arrangement of the headshell or swap up and down. The weight is very light at 4.8g, so there are times when the tone arm cannot be balanced. Jasmine's Dynamic Balance Stone Arm's cartridge weighs 5g, so it is lower than that, so it was balanced with weights down to the center of the arm. Additional weight is required depending on the need. By the way, 1 yen ball is 1 g, so if you add 1 yen ball to the shell, it will increase the weight of 1 g. The sound is high resolution and flat, and it plays in all genres without preference.
Jasmine MC Cartridge B&W ceramic series "TIGER" is here
https://exclusive-audio.jp/products/jasmine-tiger
Jasmine has 2 MC cartridges and 1 MM cartridges. "White Tiger" is one of the four gods in the high-end series. This series is named after four gods, blue dragons, white tigers, suzaku, and genbu, and contains a ceramic case depicting each symbol. Each cantilever consists of blue dragon, white tiger sapphire, suzaku solid aluminum, and genbu aluminum pipe. The stylus is that the blue dragon is a microlidge diamond, the white tiger is a shivata needle, the suzaku and genbu are all made in Japan with an elliptical needle. When listening to a combination of the company's turntable and dynamic balance stone arm, it will sound very dense and tight. It is not a soft sound of the general analog image, but a high-quality high-resolution source. However, if you do not adjust arm height, shell tilt, overhang adjustment, inside cancellation, etc., it will sound distorted. When you listen to this sound from a customer who came to listen, you say that the concept of analog records has changed uniformly. The child's cartridge has such power, but the proper arm and turntable, if not precise adjustments, will not be able to exert its true value.
That's all, but if you visit Nagai's Facebook, more impressions will be written, and the customer who came to listen to the trial seems to be surprised at the performance of Jasmine's products, so as long as I am happy.

Finally, I would like to tell you about the old classic.
This is a recording of the 50s, but it is a fresh sound, very lively and sound that I can not think of as a sound of more than 60 years ago is revived. This is a time machine.

Jasmine Forest Stereo MC Cartridge Nature Series
https://exclusive-audio.jp/products/jasmine-forest
In jasmine audio, high-end cartridgeBesides the B&W ceramic series, four types of cartridges are developed: "Wind," "Forest," "Fire" and "Mountain." This Forest is a stereo cartridge that hits the middle range in the series. The body composed of copper and aluminum is solid and vapor deposition paint is beautiful. Forest's wide bandwidth and high SN ratio does not feel the narrow f range on the spec. The sound that does not distort the feeling of sleepiness until the aging progresses, and the aging progresses, it makes the sound with high resolution elaborate. The reproduction sound is pure and natural, with no turbidity or distortion in the regeneration band and no coloring or coordination. It realistically reproduces the delicacy and quiet of the weak part of the string instrument. The dynamism of the powerful ensemble is also accurately drawn.
It has the ability to draw out the true expressions of music engraved with fine sound grooves.
