Review

The Jasmine MC cartridge, part of the B&W Porcelain series, represents the company's high-end line. The one purchased this time is the White Tiger, which uses a sapphire cantilever and a Shibata stylus. This series is inspired by the Four Symbols, featuring four models: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The cantilever materials are boron for the Azure Dragon, sapphire for the White Tiger, aluminum for the Vermilion Bird, and aluminum pipe for the Black Tortoise. The body is made of porcelain, housing the bare vibrating system inside. It delivers a very refined, tight sound. As the shape suggests, the Porcelain series is designed with considerable attention to detail, and the sound has a powerful presence.A common feature of Jasmine products is that the sound far surpasses expectations based on price, which is always surprising.*Bakoon Products, Mr. Nagai
