In my experience "skin effect" is real and there is enough research to prove it. Some now even have the highs go through conductors that go around a nonconductive center. Dielectric is also a big contributor to possible degradation of sound quality. There are so many theories and so many brands of cables, they all have their approach, some valid, and some I suspect more hype than real.
As already mentioned, you have to listen to the cable you are looking to purchase in your system. Most companies allow an audition with return option. Cable builders know they can make cables that sound different, so you do need to find the style and cable that has "synergy" in your system.
The thing is don't get hung up on one aspect of a cable build. I done that, my issue was finding a cable better than the Anticable I was using but still addressing little to no dielectric. I eventually found a better sounding cable to me at a greater price but they had some dielectric, I had to admit though some is necessary to keep out what I describe as glare.
I am a minority in this but I like using same brand and series throughout my system, some call this "loom or full loom".
I ended up using Clarus, you might find their method interesting, as they use different strand construction for frequency range, such as the wire around nonconductive center to defeat skin effect, a flat ribbon for mids and I believe the bass conductor is solid core.
You also have various types of metalurgy used. I don't want to go over the same road but you will eventually go from being interested to finding the various research, approaches and construction maddening. The proof, is, in the hearing.
