RE: carbon fiber in teflon

Firstly, carbon is not what is normally thought of as a semiconductor.

Regarding skin effect: one of the big benfits of carbon is the skin effect, orlack thereof... the skin depth on carbon is huge, several inches at the top of the audio band. (Actually, the higher the resitivity of a material, the larger the skin depth). This actually means that silver has a smaller skin depth than copper, for example.

Skin depth in copper at 20khz is around 0.5mm so any conductor more than 1mm will notice the effect. With carbon fiber the depth at 20khz is several inches, much larger than any practical condutor.

But I wonder why you wade into debates like this where you are so clearly technically wrong, and lack experience. I could point you to reviews of carbon fiber cables where the reviewers were amazed but I doubt that would affect your clear bias in this case.
