Method of interaction between the stylus and cartridge of a phonograph that creates electrical signals by attaching a magnet to the stylus that in turn moves up and down in relation to a coil of wire in the cartridge. As the magnet attached to the stylus moves in and out of the coil of wire in the cartridge, an electric signal is generated in the coil of wire from the magnetic field. A moving-magnet cartridge contrasts to a moving-coil cartridge, which moves the coil attached to the stylus in relation to a stationary magnet in the cartridge. Either method creates an equivalent electric signal that can be sent to other audio components, amplified and sent to a speaker to generate sound waves. he signal is recorded in the record album grooves. The stylus sits in the grooves and moves up and down over the waves in the grooves. This motion in turn moves the magnet attached to the stylus up and down through a coil of wire in the cartridge and generates a signal in the wire that is a mirror of that recorded in the record grooves.
