Stereo audio over coax

Just wondering if it's possible to send line level audio over CT100 coax? I have Cat 5 running to the same place, but at £100 for a pair of baluns I just want to see if using coax is cheaper....

If you have two spare CT100's, it's worth trying. The shielding on CT100 is designed for much higher frequencies than audio so I don't know how effective it would be at blocking 50Hz mains hum.

Failing that, and if you don't mind a bit of soldering, you can make a pair of CAT5 audio baluns.

You'll need four of these.
