RG-59 can certainly be used, soundhound has certainly proved that elsewhere in this forum. However, as worldwide mentioned in his post, coax can be stiff and hard to work with. The materials used in RG-59 cables varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and series to series within the same vendor. You mentioned Belden by name and I haven't checked their catalog but I would guess they have at least a couple dozen different cable types in the RG-59 category. Each with slightly different materials and geometries. Whether these differences effect sound quality when used as an interconnect cable is up to the user to decide. There is one type I would stay away from and that is the type with a coated steel center conductor. Steel types give the cable strength but the ferrous content in the steel has been reported to cause some time smearing effects in the audio band (remember the cable was designed for RF not audio).
