RE: carbon fiber in teflon

I'm well aware of carbon fiber as a semiconductor, and its use for a limited amount of cable designs where the material is actually implemented as a primary/hybrid conductor for audio purposes. Resistance in terms of conductivity is a key factor regarding skin effect, and in this particular case it's important to note the way the carbon fibers are actually arranged within the stranded bundle of the non-audio product is an unknown factor. If carbon fiber as a primary conductor were a more promising material, cable designers/makers other than Van den Hul and scant others would opt for such as an effective primary conductor for audiophile purposes. I would rather be considered pessimistic in this case rather than be over-optimistic about the issue.
