Default 30 feet comp to stereo, any problems?

I want to hook the audio output from my computer to my stereo. It's
about a 30 foot run. Do I need to use shielded wiring for a run this
long? I don't know much about this kind of setup so any advice would
be appreciated.

Thanks very much


30 feet may be a bit far wrt shunt capacitance in the cable if thin cable
used. Also you are quite likely to get noise from a potential ground-loop.
