Help: Accuphase XLR pin 3 hot into XLR pin 2 hot? (no unbalanced avail)


I'm picking up an old Accuphase G-18 equalizer to offset my hearing loss. My research shows that the G-18 has pin 3 hot.

How do I resolve this hook up anomaly, as the Accuphase has pin 3 hot, and my Boulder 865 has pin 2 hot? There are no unbalanced inputs on my Boulder.

Thanks, a befuddled Ken

According to the Polarity Pundit exactly 92% of CDs are out of polarity. So folks would be much better off putting their system out of polarity. Then only 8% of CDs would sound out of polarity. Also, according to the polarity pundit LPs don't suffer the same fate in terms of percentages. Looking on the bright side for just a moment since a very high percentage of CDs released in the last 20 are overly compressed, what's one more glaring defect like polarity?
