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!

Cables are tone controls, what are you trying to do? Make the system more bright or less bright? More low end punch? Or do you just want a great sounding even sounding cable?

This is why they make so many different types of cables they all sound different.
