Does anyone have info or a picture of the internals of the Shunyata Research Theta speaker cables? I have a pair of those and am digging into Cardas wire with their air core tubes / air core dielectrics. Wondering how Shunyata handles that. The site mentions "VTX™ (hollow core)", but not sure if they are doing anything to actually try to create "air".

I've just completed the gear for my system:

Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC
Ayre Acoustics KX-R Twenty Preamp
Ayre Acoustics MX-R Twenty monos

I love my Ayre equipment. Turning attention to wire now and was gifted a pair of Cardas Clear Sky XLR. I was using "Good quality copper wire"... Mogami 2549. I inserted that one Clear Sky XLR between the QX-5 Twenty Steaming DAC and KX-R Twenty and it flipped a switch. Juiced.

Right now I am eyeballing Cardas Clear Reflection, and see the focus on air tubes in the Cardas stuff. That's why I'm going down that path with respect to how Shunyata does it, re: Dielectrics.
