I second Walt's suggetion of RG-59 or RG-6, I use it all the time for very unusual situations. I am sure the CAT-5 will work, just not sure if you will have hum. It might be worth a try. Before you actually string it in the walls, you might roll it out on the floor between the 2 pieces of equipment and connected to verify the results. Make sure you are happy with the performance before you go to all the trouble to install it.
Coax tends to be a bit more flexible as you can easily use it for Audio, Video, Antenna, Satellite, Speaker wire. Where the CAT5 cannot be used for antenna or satellite feeds! I suggest RG-6 over RG-59.
If you have to install cable, alway pull more than you need now. You never know what you may want to do next week!
If it was my house, I would put at least 3 CAT-5 and 3 coax cables to this location. Then you might never run out of ideas! Additonal computer connection, telephone connection, additional video feed, IR repeater, TIVO box, wireless router installation, MP3 streaming to new home theater pc. Oh, I was just dreaming.
Good luck.
