Hi Guys
RG-174 uses copper-clad steel inner conductor with tinned-copper braid shield. The shield is okay but the inner conductor adds distortion for audio signals. This may not be a concern in a guitar amp but for your hifi you will want to use all-copper.
Since this coax is designed for use at radio frequencies, the distortion is not present at RF as RF travels on the wire surface (skin effect). Low-frequency audio is a "bulk" signal travelling equally within the cross-section of the conductor.
It's hard to beat the low-capacitance.
