Anyone here have experience with their products? It all appears to be made in China, but some of their components get good reviews.

    The turntable is interesting - it says bluetooth output, but doesn't state a phono pre built in. One would assume it was before sending the signal via BT?

    It is, and a very appropriate 'look' for a Chinese piece.

    Stands to reason.

    They are unabashedly Chinese, but it would appear more focused on quality since they design their own stuff, and have their own brand name to uphold. In other words, they're not just manufacturing for a client as cheaply as possible.

    There's not a lot of reviews out there for their products, except maybe their turntable motors being used in DIY applications. Their tonearms first caught my attention, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. I found that Mockingbird Distribution used to sell their products, but not any more http://mockingbirddistribution.com/jasmine-audio/ (See the red text.)

    I like the looks and features of their LP 4.0 Phono Preamp. Tube Design with Vu-Meters, External Power Supply, plus the Front Mount Controls.

    I wonder if the Meters are gauging the Output of the Cartridge, as in the Azimuth setting? Would be very handy if they were.

    I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like the Chinese sound they claim the carts exhibit.

    Best enjoyed with a bowl of hot-and-sour soup.
