Hi everyone.
I bought my 400s many years ago, used. The original owner chopped them in for Brystons after a couple of months.
This cable came with them and I ignored it. Had no idea what it was for but seems to be RCA to XLR.

Anyway, I found the cable today and thought I'd see what it did and connected the RCA to the "master" and the XLR to the "slave".
All I got was sound from the left speaker which, of course, is the master which suggests no signal transfer to the slave at all.
Am I doing something wrong or is the cable duff? What little I can find about them is they are mentally expensive too ($400?)
which seems very pricey for something that appears not to work at all!! Also, since the connection between master and slave is digital,
I cannot see any rationale for some hand made cable at uber-bucks i.e. what possible sonic improvement could be achieved?
Any help appreciated.
