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!

Hmmm, I thought Supra used hollow core wire but they just confirmed that the wires are wrapped around an hollow tube of PE. Their literature is vague about it. It seems to suggest they use hollow wire... a new one on me, too, hence the question!
I'd like to hear from the electrons themselves, please, about whether they like a good bubble bath or not.
Z, Which brand solid core? Compared to what else? How is it different from everything else you've tried?
Alpha-Core is a ribbon -- in my world a technically different critter than single core or hollow core.
Stereovox makes hollow core interconnects in their Studio Line. Yes, a single, HOLLOW-CORE wire: be careful bending! Anybody compared it to single core ics?
Well, yes, it's solid. We surely could include the category, although it's not what originally I had in mind.
Devilboy, interesting. What specific sonic qualities have solid core given you that stranded haven't been able to?
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.
