A while ago, I documented the conversion of a Tri-Planar from RCA termination to balanced XLR, for use with my Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp.
The photos in this website might help you visualize the discussion above: http://www.galibierdesign.com/prd_triplanar_xlr_build.html.
Of particular interest, after this termination is complete, the braided shield you see will have electrical continuity from the tonearm's headshell, straight through to pin-1 on the XLR connectors.
Cheers,
