Jasmine Audio JS-TB297 12 "Dynamic Balanced Tone Arm

Inherit classical and analog technology

The Jasmine TB297 Tone Arm incorporates the essence of superior tone arm design and optimizes tracking parameters based on scientific tracking algorithms. In addition, by adopting the latest precision processing technology and advanced materials, we have achieved unprecedented high-precision performance.

Dynamic Balance Tracking Force

By making the stylus more stable, tracking accuracy is improved and higher quality hi-fi regeneration is realized.

Rational and classical mechanical design

The design concept was conceived as a tribute to the golden age of analog music.

Excellent tracking performance

Tracking distortion is kept below 0.5% at most, and sound distortion is rarely generated from the outer to inner circumference of the record.

I bought Jasmine's dynamic balance arm as standard arm. After balancing 0 with a long tone arm, the needle pressure is rotated while looking at the scale on the rotation axis. The lateral balancer and inside force canceller are 0.5 g. The arm lifter and arm receiver are on the base attached to the arm, and both can be fixed with a hollow screw. The sound has a high resolution. Arm mounting position can be changed at the installation base. Use the attached templates to match the arm trajectory with the overhang. Like Japanese products released at the height of audio, Chinese products are also very popular.

This arm has a unique shape with the center offset from the axis to the right. Needle pressure pressurization is a dynamic balance method that has another pressurization mechanism such as spring, not weight. As written in the catalog, it seems to absorb and inherit the essence of the best tone arm design ever. So there are many places that resemble the famous tone arm. However, it is said that Jasmine technology has realized it with the latest precision processing technology and new materials to a higher level. When listening in combination with the company's turntable TT-D200MK2, the first thing you feel is the high-end sound. The sound with a clear amount of information was evaluated by the people who listened to it as being listening to digital high-resolution. In order to demonstrate its ability, setting and adjustment are necessary, using the height adjustment mechanism of the turntable at the levelX・YLet's adjust correctly. The adjustment of the overhang to determine the position of the arm comes with a dedicated plastic jig, so adjust it using it. The pressurization of the needle pressure is turned until the knob in the bearing part stops in the clock direction, turning in the counterclockwise direction and pressurizing, but it is a normal tone arm, so I was confused at first. The available cartridge weight is5~17gbut the companyM2If you attach a light cartridge like, the balance weight will get close to the center, so you need to add weight. The axis of the inside force canceller's weight contains a scale, but this does not fit at all. Since the cartridge changes greatly, adjustment using test records is necessary. These adjustments allow you to listen to high-end sounds that are very clear and high resolution.
