There have been many discussions about solid core wire vs. stranded wire, with the topic of skin effect often discussed regarding solid core conductors, and in regards to stranded conductors, distortions due to interactions between multiple strands within a uninsulated (non-litz) wire bundle, as well as the sonic signatures of various strand counts, and the specific lay of wires within a bundle, all affecting the sound of a particular type of cable.
Personally, I much prefer a single solid core conductor per polarity for line-level cables, a single solid core central conductor for digital cables, a stranded conductor for power cords, and multiple individually insulated solid core conductors within a woven litz wire bundle with a central core for vibration damping and better optimized signal transfer for speaker cables. The only pragmatic compromise for use in a second system I have adhered to is implementing several long-length, cross connected, 4-conductor stranded speaker cables for a distributed audio system with multiple loudspeakers to feed via a speaker selector, and an autoformer-based speaker-level volume control for an active subwoofer placed in that system.
