Rewire Marantz or Reterminate Cable

I'm buying a Marantz SA-14. Apparently the XLRs are wired pin 3 hot as opposed to the rest of my equipment which is pin 2 hot.

I have a pair of cables that could get reterminated. I think I would rather resolder the wires in the Marantz and stick a label on the back of it.

Opinions?

Thanks.

It really desn't matter whether pin 2 is positive or pin 3 is positive in reality.

What is the correct phase? I don't believe there are many if any pieces of recorded music that maintains the same phase thoughout the recording chain. And especially recordings from europe would be different.

The easiest way to fix the problem in that case would be to reverse the positive and negative at one end of your XLRs.

Rewiring the internal XLR jack can be simple as long as the jacks aren't connected directly to the circuit board.
