I can see where you're coming from, but good echo cancellers still cost a lot (whichever sockets they use) and most people would be happier to know that things like flourescent lights aren't going to ruin the signals either side of the echo canceller, and so use balanced audio connections. Short connections at line level can be fine, but unbalanced leads at mic levels are a definite no-no.
