OK guys, I understand that I misspoke about pin 1. It is chassis ground, not signal ground. I am glad to have my error corrected for the record, even though it was not critical to the point I attempted to make.
My point was that the talk about pin 2 vs pin 3 in terms of signal polarity is irrelevant when it comes to balanced cables. Since they are wired 2 to 2 and 3 to 3, they will work with either pin 2 "hot" or pin 3 "hot", and there are no special cables needed for one convention vs. the other. Have I missed something there?
