Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?

i believe tara labs has a line of rectangular solid core interconnects. call them to see if they are still in production.

or you can google "solid core interconnect" and see if a name of a company is listed.

i did a google search and confirmed two sources of solid core cable:

1) tara labs

2) parts connexion--legenburg cable

cogan hall, years ago manufactured hollow core interconnects. in the recent past, legenburg manufactured hollow core cables. both companies are no longer viable.

if by chance there exists a company which designs and manufacturers hollow core cable, listen to them and compare them to your favorite solid core cable. there are several types of solid core cable, including, rectangular solid core, cylindrical or circular solid core and ribbon cable.

isn't a ribbon cable considered a solid as opposed to stranded conductor ?

why is there a concern of a cable having stranded or solid core wire ?

the type of wire is but one variable which will determine how a cable will interact between two components.

i would prefer to just listen to a cable and then inquire about its composition and design--in that order.

the distinction between solid and stranded wire, independent of other factors seems arbitrary.

there are plenty of decent stranded and solid core cables.

if the question were rephrased to "solid core vs stranded", perhaps, an old thread, if so, any references ??,

would one expect to see as many proponents of one approach vs the other, or can someone make a case for one or the other on objective grounds ?

does anyone think that the difference between stranded and solid core cable is easily recognized in a stereo system, assuming one is using either design for all cables ?

i think other variables can disguise the differences between stranded and solid core making it difficult to tell.
