Accuphase Preamp using XLR pin 3 hot

I'm afraid I am having difficulty with something very simple :)

If I am running a completely balanced system, running an EMM CDSA player into an Accuphase C2400 into Clayton M200 monoblocks...and the Accuphase is pin 3 hot, the upstream and downstream components, pin 2 hot....need all I do to compensate/correct is to switch to the 180 (opposed phase) on the Accuphase Preamp??

Many thanks for your kind responses...perhaps my 401K's downward "free-fall" is affecting my reasoning :)

Yes, that's correct. Alternatively, you could interchange the + and - connections on each speaker.

Kirkus,

Yes, you're right -- thanks for the correction. No phase reversal is required because there is no net phase inversion through the preamp, since pin 3 is hot at both its input and its output.
