After reading the responses on this forum to Mr Causey's letter in the April issue, I decided to start a new thread.

Hello all,

Well,
Just received my new Woo 6 amp. Man this thing is beautiful! Extremely well built, it has plenty of muscle to drive my K701's to very loud levels.

Hi, I just had a few questions about Image brand speakers. I'm talking about the ones that were made in Canada by Audio Products International and not the ones produced by Chris Ball in New Zealand.
In Stereophile Vol.12 No.6 it was said that:
"API then launched the Image line in late '87, one of whose products was reviewed by John Atkinson in Vol.11 No.8."

Hola,

I was reading about field coil speaker elements, where the "magnet" for the speaker is created by an active electrical supply rather than by using fixed magnets.

Well, that got me to thinking, could you do the same thing for a phono cartridge?

I know you'd need a couple extra runs of wire through the tonearm, but like with a strain gauge, by eliminating a fixed magnet and its mass, you might gain in the process.

I can't find anything about whether or not this have ever been attempted.

Anybody know enough about this sort of thing?
