Total amateur question - but i can't figure out what i am missing!

I cannot get the line-out to connect with my amp. I have isolated all the variables and everything works: Same cable into amp can play music from itunes, headphone jack on MS-20 works just fine, I hear sound on one side when i plug headphones into the line-out. But when i plug that same cable from line out into the same amp, i get nothing.

I am using an 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch mono cable

What am i missing?

THANKS

I've never really worked this out. I have various cables.

6.5mm mono instrument cable with a 3.5mm adaptor. Works fine but the weight of the cable is a bit too much for the fragile connector.
3.5mm stereo cable works just fine.
3.5mm stereo to 6.5mm mono cable doesn't work.

Luke from Korg once told me that a slight variation in the length of the cable tip can be the difference between working or not.
