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!

Thank you for your response.

I want bright/ great sounding even. I read if I want bring audio I need to use unshielded wire, is that a thing?

Thank you for your response.

The connectors that I'm planning to use the inside diameter is .23 inch I think it should work (or right there on the money). Good observation, thank you!
