Re: STP for unbalanced StereoI wouldn't worry about $11 worth of cable I would be concerned with noise pickup. Test the setup before committing to a permanent install. If its in the wall have the electrician quote you flex conduit and hope he doesn't take you to the cleaners. That way if things change down the road you have an option. Personally I'd go with balanced and be done with it. Have him provide you with a conduit ground lead that you can fasten to the chassis of the two kit you're connecting.
