Hi folks.  I've found an i/c I really like, for reasonable money (it's on special offer: $115 for a 1m XLR pair (normal price $900) and I'm very tempted, as my CDP has XLR outputs.  However, my preamp only has RCA phono inputs.  If I were to buy an XLR pair, could I simply get the other end reterminated?  Would that work, or is there something else special about XLR-style leads?  I know next to nowt about XLRs other than the fact that I have an XLR mic cable for my SE condenser mike.
