The coils are wound around a former and that material can be a number of different things. Kapton has the advantage of being non conductive so when it comes into the scope of a moving magnetic field, eddy currents can not occur which cause aberrations and distortions that can be remarkably audible. Kapton is disadvantaged from metal formers in terms of stiffness and durable and also it can not conduct heat very well so it does not assist in cooling the coil itself.</p></blockquote><p></p>
