Amps for AKG K240 mkii

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi, I'm a newbie to posting in these forums although I've had an interest in a lot of the topics around for a while-I hope I've put this in the right section!

I finally convinced myself to give all this go last night and purchased an AKG K240 mkii from a head-fier, I heard about it being a reasonable starter!

The person I bought it off suggested I get an amp to get the best out of it-since I'm a beginner I don't want to spend too much on one, (although I can see head-fi thinning my wallet quickly in the future!), I've done some hunting through the forums and it seems a lot of people recommend the Fiio E10 as a good sub-£100 amp for these phones, are there any others which could be considered or is the E10 a pretty good bet? I saw the review on headphonia for it and was pretty convinced until I saw the review for the E17, now I'm not so sure again, would it be a better 'investment'? =)

If it makes a difference, I listen mainly to classical and jazz but also to some folk, world and Japanese bits and bobs.

Thanks for any help!

Hi, I'm the previous owner of timjim33 's K240's. ^_^

When I bought these headphones I was just starting appreciating headphones but I already had the FiiO e10. Now, I was happy with this combo, but seeing as timjim33 is just starting as well maybe some of you could give him some more educated pointers.

I feel that the AKG's really need an amp to sound what they're worth.

Another possibility? -> NuForce Icon uDAC2

I've decided to pre-order the E17, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help.
