Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?


Which makes for better interconnects, all else being equal, single core or hollow core wire? Thin or thick gauge? Experience first, theory second!

Hifi: Glad to see I'm not the only one who had the pleasure of experiencing Crimson cables. Truly a revelation.
Pmboyd: I've enjoyed the solid core cables more than others because of this: the solid cores made me think less about analyzing and more about feeling emotions of music. You know that feeling you get when you stop analyzing the music and you just listen. Then the moment hits you when you realize you haven't criticized anything for 30 minutes. 30 minutes go by and you haven't asked yourself, "am I getting enough bass? Is the tone accurate? Do I need to move the speakers?
So my answer has less to do with detail and more about raw musical emotion. The other cables impress in the 10 minute demo, but show their true annoying colors over time.
OK, gonna try the Crimson MLs. Several people have recommended 'em. Hard to imagine they're gonna beat my Huffman SX, though. Report to come.

I still keep a set of Grover interconects and speaker cables around just in case.
