I would like to take a stereo signal from the line-out of my stereo
(or TV) to the line-in of my PC.
The equipment is in different rooms and the audio cable would be 10
metres. It will be this type:

I don't understand the technical side but is 10 metres so long that
it might cause audio problems with things like frequency response or
voltage/current levels and so on?
Will I need to get some higher specification audio cable to cover
that distance? I want to keep cost down.
You might get unacceptable noise pickup, you might not. Try. You
might also get hum. Sometimes it responds to simply lifting the
screen connection at one end, sometimes you need an isolating
transformer. Or rather a pair of them.
What's the link for?
