Portable Amp For AKG K240 MKIi
Hi, I just purchased the AKG K240 MKII headphones and they sound unbelievable (except for some cracklig noises at times, but I think it's from the songs I was listening to [also one of them was being watched from youtube]).

Hello Currently I have two headphones: AKG K240S and Audio-Technica ATH-M30 and want to upgrade my onboard Realtek ALC270 which itself claims capability to produce even 24 bit 192 kHz sound. I am guessing that those specifications mean nothing. Is it possible that cheap entry level laptop...- Lumos

AKG K240 Sextett recable. What is ground and signal?
I stupidly forgot to note what the ground terminal is and what signal is before I desoldered the original cable. I left the original red and white cables attached to the driver. Can some one tell me which one is signal and which one is ground? Or, does it even matter? Thanks, Mat- mgrewe
