And so it came to pass, on 06-09-97 15:33,

By far, one of the most confusing "side-effects", in my experience, has been 
lost audio when going from a balanced output to an unbalanced input with a 
cable that's got pin2/3 the opposite of the output.  The net effect is one of 
grounding out the signal lead.
