Review

The Jasmine MC cartridge is the high-end series from B&W's Porcelain lineup. The version 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: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Blue Dragon uses a boron cantilever, White Tiger uses sapphire, Vermilion Bird uses aluminum, and Black Tortoise uses an aluminum pipe cantilever. The body is made of porcelain, housing an exposed vibrating system. It delivers a very precise and tight sound. As the shape suggests, the Porcelain series features meticulously crafted design, and the sound is impressive. A common trait of Jasmine products is their ability to exceed expectations in sound quality relative to their price.* - Mr. Nagai, Bakoon Products
