While in Richmond, Va last week, I saw where Sam Ash is opening in an old Mars store. I went in for a look-see and ended up buying a 6 1/2 foot monster mic wire (a hefty $24.95) to use with a PSR 2000. When it didn't work, I tried plugging it directly into my amp. That worked fine. The only visible difference between the Monster and my older, cheaper wire is that the Monster has a stereo 1/4 plug, my older wire is mono.

I can't understand why the PSR 2000 would not work with a stereo plug...and neither can the folks at Monster. I tried plugging it in just half way...but that doesn't work either.

Monster does not offer a mono wire in their lineup...but they told me to send the stereo wire back and they would make up a mono for me.

Here's hoping.
