Wide sound field and clear sound due to 4-coil structure

Unlike general MM cartridges, it uses a 4-coil structure to improve channel separation. This enables a wide sound field and clear sound reproduction, providing a three-dimensional sound despite being an MM type.

There are three types of Jasmine MM cartridges: M1, M2, and M0. M2 is an intermediate level product with a bonded elliptical needle attached to a hard-coated aluminum cantilever. The mainstream of Japanese-made joining needles are titanium metal with a diamond tip joined, but the Chinese-made ones have a transparent base and are thought to be made of sapphire. The recommended needle pressure is 2.5g. I think sapphire would have an advantage since its specific gravity is lower than titanium. What impressed me about the Jasmine cartridge is that the signal pin arrangement on the head shell is 1:1, so you can connect it straight without having to swap left and right or top and bottom. It weighs 4.8g, which is very light, so depending on the tonearm, it may be difficult to balance it. The minimum cartridge weight for Jasmine's dynamic balance tone arm was 5g, so this was less than that, so I was able to get the weight as close to the center of the arm as possible to balance it. Additional weights may be required if necessary. The sound has a high resolution and a flat feel, and plays all genres without being picky.I think it's suitable for comparison listening because it has a natural feel without any peculiarities. *Bakoon Products Representative Nagai
