So I have to lathe out the connector of the mini plug, and I loath the lathe. (sorry I wanted to say that) Your right though some people would like the cable not looking so odd, and it does offer some abrasion protection. And to finally answer your question, yes it is possible to sleeve the cable in certain circumstances, depending on what plugs you choose and cable type.

Thanks for the prompt response. I was thinking of 1/4" plug or perhaps the AKG K1000 4-plug. I wonder if the cloth type of sleeve that Audio Technica uses would reduce the microphonics added by the tekflex type of sleeves.
