Jasmine Audio MM Cartridge Series - M2

Elliptical bond diamond stylus
Clearer sound quality

4 coil structure
Improved channel separation
Wide sound field and clear sound

There are three kinds of MM cartridges of Jasmine: 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 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. The sound is high resolution and flat, and it plays in all genres without preference.I think it is suitable for comparative listening because it is natural feeling without habit. * Bakoon Products Nagai
