So, updating my previous calculation for the VdH cable, you can see that the gain loss is still negligible, a fraction of a dB. The whole point is that you are not transferring power so much as voltage in an interconnect, and voltage loss is a function of current. Not much current = not much voltage loss.

Maybe you lack imagination! Or rather, technical knowledge (without which imagination can lead to imaginary results.) There are formulas that let you calculate the inductance and capacitance of wires, and these formulas do not depend on the wire's resistace.
I think a more valid comparison is a 1 metre length of normal wire. Look at it this way.. in a CF wire, the resistance will be much larger than the reactance, so the overall impedance will be largely real (ie resistive) . At the other extreme, a zero resistance wire would have a purely imaginary (reactive) impedance. A normal low resistace wire would be somewhere between the two, but likely closer to the latter.
