From what I've read, the K240 would pair best with a solid state amp, rather than a tube amp but I have no experience with amping headphones so can anyone recommend a good amp? I'm not looking for anything too expensive but I don't want to spend too little and only end up with a negligable improvement in sound quality, so I'll let you guys set my budget (but please don't go over the top, I don't want to spend more on the amp than I did on the headphones I'm going to be using it for).

Anyone? I kind of have that upgrade itch.

Please? I reworded the original post to hopefully give a more accurate idea of what I'm looking for.

The HA-160 is well known for driving well Akg hp's. 
 
But, from what i read...your budget is less than $100?

That's quite a bit more than I can spend.
 
Yes, under $100 would be ideal.

If it's not too late, how about Fiio's E5 or Headroom's Total Airhead?  Both are within your price range(27.99 and 99.99 respectively) and should drive your AKGs nicely.

I wouldn't recommend the E5, from my experience it is largely not worth the money.  Save up the money and get the E7 (~80 I believe).

Actually the E7 is 99.99USD.  I understand the E5 is not the best portable solution out there, but I'm getting surprisingly good results pairing it with my Shure SRH440 and AKG K 240 Studio.
