they’d be mad about the lack of shielding, which COULD result in noise from interference. it won’t, but audiophiles love ignoring real-world measurements in favor of theoretical ones.

Audio goes over balanced cables, as long as they're close together they should receive equal and opposite interference, so interference is cancelled out
