Rather than plastic tubing, natural cotton rope implemented as a core will produce less dielectric involvement, and provide good resonance damping for litz wire designs prone to cable resonances. The core allows better control of inductance/magnetic fields, and improve the braided/woven helix-type speaker cables noise cancellation geometry.

over short lengths I eliminate any stuffing altogether. The Kimber is stiff enough to retain its shape as long as you don't step on it. Different colored rope looks cool though... and the plastic can make it look much more expensive than it really is, for those impressed by appearances
LOL....
Incidentally in some automotive installations puffing and then flattening the cable still yields audible improvement but a smaller physical presence.
Also a noticeable sonic difference can be had in the orientation of the twist. Using the right hand twist wires to carry positive signal ( like the thread on a normal screw), seems to "speed" up the sound, making dynamics seem quicker. Using the other helix for positive ( left hand thread)seems to " slow" things down. Just my observation...
YMMV
The right hand twist notion is intriguing, unclestu.
Can you tell by the photo which color wires are the right hand twist of the VH Audio CHeLA (Counter Helical Litz Array) speaker cable design?
TIA
Yeah> The blue helix is right hand twist an the white left.
Strange, you would think it shouldn't make a difference at all ( but the rule of the right hand butts his head in here).
Be interested in hearing your experience
