Belden 9497 as RCA Cable?!


Greetings;

I being wanted to upgrade my RCA cables on my hi-fi "ish" stereo system. Right now I have some Amazon RCA nothing wrong with them, I'm just trying to clear the back of my system (too messy) and make them the right length so I don't have a mess on the back. Can I use Belden 9497 (twisted pair wire) as RCA cable? Or should I use Belden 8402 shielded cable? I saw some pictures of people using twisted pair wire but not quite sure if would affect the quality of the audio. twisted pair wire is$0.99 per foot and shielded wire is $4.74 per foot. That's without the RCA plugs.

Any advice will be appreciated!

Thank you!

I always use good shielded cables for line level and lower. No need to spend stupid money, check out BlueJeans cables for good honest cables. They also have all the technical data on each cable type, not something written by some ad writer with all kinds of flowery words and BS.
