As an owner of AKG 340 since new, I have found that every piece of hifi equipment with a phone socket, is unsuitable for the AKG 340 phones.
As an example, a CD player usually use a small IC, with an equally small power supply - not enough to power the AKG 340's.
And, most, if not all amplifiers that have a phone socket, also have some resistors between the socket, and the usual speaker output.
The problem with those resistors is, that they usually messes up the frequency response of the AKG's.
The only solution is, to make an adapter, and connect the phones directly to the speaker outputs.
