Hi - I have recently "inherited" a Korg-LE - a fine beast and so much better than my previous.

However, I have never used a keyboard that has no external speakers - and while it sounds great, as it should, with headphones, I am looking for a very inexpensive way of pushing the sound through stereo speakers in my home "studio" (really just a spare room in the house!).

I have tried connecting some old computer speakers via the headphone socket - but with a tinny sound, crackling and other distortions.

I do have an reasonable hi-fi set-up but my gut feel is that it's not as simple as connecting it to the back of an AV amp, along with a DVD player, tape-deck etc?
Using a computer is not an option - as I only use a work laptop!

I don't have a massive budget - pittance actually.
So any help at all would be grateful.

Cheers.

You can run it through your Hi-Fi, if you please. You just need a cable that connects 1/4" jacks to whatever your inputs use (probably RCA), select that input and you should get sound. I used to do this when I got my first synth (many moons ago), and it worked out quite well for a practice environment.
