Travlin'easy..,
Thanks for all the tips I have to say it's the keyboard.. I also owned the PSR-540 and it too suffered from the same problem. When using Roland Monitors I can really hear the hiss. I end up having to turn down the treble just to cut the noise a bit. I am using good cables, and was sure to keep everything on the same surge. I'm also away from anything that might cause any static as well. The hiss isn't really bad, but I know it's there and I tend to get picky over that type of thing.. I'm the same way with my guitar. The second I hear the slightest buzz in the neck, I have the rod adjusted to get rid of it.

Trtjazz,
You're right in that you get what you pay for. Too bad Yamaha cheesed out on the output on this keyboard.. It wouldn't have killed them to at least of added stereo RCA outputs. Oh well, I'll find a way around it.. I've been playing with the Hi EQ settings on the recorder, and it seems to dropping the hiss a bit..

Thanks everyone,
Squeak
