So I tried it, puffing them up to approx 0.5" ID/0.75" OD. I did not insert a rope or tube, as I expected that the best sound would be obtained with no additional dielectric material. However, I found it a little hard to keep the diameter and shape perfectly consistent, so I might try again with rope.

The result was that top end seemed a little more open and detail was presented in a more delicate manner. They seem smoother, but with a small loss of microdynamics or attack. The overall sound might be a little lighter as well, but I'm not sure. In my system, it was a lateral move. I think with 8TC in my system, it would be more clearly an improvement. I might try that, or try the 4TC again with rope core.

Thanks again for the tip.
