"I feel that Litz wiring employs too much complexity than is required and the dielectrics aren't helping and they don't perfectly eliminate proximity effect, a bigger problem than skin depth. And why one conductor is probably still best, if the geometry is right. While at it, polish the surfaces to a mirror shine. :-)"
Well, I'm sure the mirror finish with clear insulation would make a statement at that. Although I've used fine magnet wire for interconnects for decades now (usually terminated) I use inexpensive Kimber for the speakers. It's essentially course litz wire which combines small current loops with limpness which MAY help things. When I was doing the work I also had some Audioquest cables consisting of several strands of wire in parallel spiraled around a core. The Kimber sounded better and was dead flat to >20Kc driving my four-way speakers while the Audioquest was down about 1.2dB. That was before AA so I didn't know that cable differences couldn't be measured...
