FWIW, I favor solid core, too. But I use the thinnest gauge possible in a given application, because I also think I hear a benefit from very thin gauge. When current needs to be accommodated, I would use several parallel individually insulated strands of thin gauge solid core wire. Alternatively, thin ribbons sound good to me, as well. Litz is just a special case of this, where the winding of insulated strands results in added capacitance. I tend not to like Litz windings as much as just paralleling strands in space, but I cannot say why the latter sounds a bit less "dark" to me. I was withholding my own biases in order to ask my question of DG, regarding his bias for the opposite, without putting him on the spot.
Nanotubes, I don't know. Don't know any reason why transmitting a single electron at a time would be necessarily a good thing, but maybe some day we'll find out. I can predict, however, that the first wire-maker who can find a way to incorporate the word "nanotube" into his advertising blurbs is sure to do so.
