What is the best dielectric?


A vacuum is the best dielectric? Since this is not pratical would air be the next best dielectric or would there be a better sounding dielectric like cotton?
Would there be a difference for speaker wire or interconnects?
Thanks

There are several manufacturers using rectangular conductors with the narrow sides within a teflon tube. This means that the majority of the conductor has an air dielectric or in the case of the Stage III with a vacuum dielectric. Townshend is the other manufacturer that I know of. I also have some ics with a silver wire spiraled within a teflon tube also minimizing the conductor's contact the teflon. These were made by Bogdan.
Muralman, you are going down the path taken by Omega Mikro some time ago.
