Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?

At a recent hi-fi show an exhibitor auditioning $47K speakers repeatedly asserted the following: "Any solid core wire, even $0.03 a foot is better than any multi-strand available. Experiment for yourselves, you will be amazed."

My question before I ditch my multi-stranded Audioquest Indigo cables in favor of 4 individual single solid core 18 gauge cobber cables from Home Depot for my newly acquired SA Mantra 50s, has anyone tried using single solid core wires?

What exactly are the sonic benefits of solid core cables?

I've re-read this thread and don't have a clear picture of how they sound different from other designs. If someone could take a shot at a general description, it would be appreciated. I've actually just switched from a Kimber cable to a solid core JW Audio cables and it sounds different but I don't want to generalize based on one experience & system.
