Precisely.
Nylon braid is softer that monofilament sleeving.  Nylon braid on its own doesn't really make that much of a difference in microphonics versus "nude", really.  It needs cotton sleeving underneath to get nice and quiet.

I still have trouble finding cotton sleeving other than shoe laces.

How are the microphonics of the Techflex?

Not too bad actually. Given the short length, and my desktop location where I'm not moving around a whole hell of a lot, it's pretty good. I noticed it only when it happened to rub against a zipper on my jacket today - wouldn't normally be a problem. Also mitigated a bit due (I think) to the external jack for the cord - if this was going directly into the ear cup proper - I imagine it would be much more noticeable.
 
And a little extra stiffness on the 2893 isn't a big deal for my use. 
 
I don't think I'll use it for some of the other cables - but for this one, it's just fine.

hm, so would you say braided wire sleeved with nylon multifilament would cause less microphonics than a W2893 (with the rubber jacket) sleeved in nylon multifilament?

Anyone? Help with Livewires IEM barrel connectors?

I did a search but no dice, so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone recable(or mod the cale) of their Klipsch X5 or X10?

Looks awesome.  Viablue ferrites or what?

I haven't messed with that kind of cable yet, lol.  I should have been more specific.  2893 might be quieter or the same, I wouldn't know.

Would they fit in recessed Unique Melody sockets?
 
Female 2-pin is really my main concern though, as I'm trying to make a HiFiMAN-UM adapter. With that, I could use my TWAG OM on both my Miracle and HE-6.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Anyone know where I can find mini-xlr connectors in Canada?

 

[liamstrain]

Markertek ships to Canada (the USPS option would be cheapest)... though I'm sure there are some Canada based shops that will carry them. 

 

[cyberspyder]

Redco. KVConnection has a bunch as well, have had great experiences with either.
