I need to buy a headphone amplifier for my AKG-240STUDIO headphones, for a reasonable/price worthy price and with the "best" sound possible...so any recommendations ???

Thanks!

i'm happy w/ Headroom products. i have a 15 yo Cosmic(?) and a 5 yo Airhead.
"best sound possible"? good one!

Ah ok, but I think we both know that none of the products you did mention above available on the market today. And when I say "best sound as possible" I of course mean the best possible within the price range...

What range?

Hmm, $100 or at most maybe $130.
But If I could get anything cheaper that would also be good.

A Behringer 1202 mini-mixer. It has a headphone amplifier that will drive virtually any headphone with no noise, and to suitable amplitude, regardless of impedance and sensitivity. Well under $100.00 USD.

I'm always little scared to buy Behringer products, it's not exactely
a manufacture that is known for quality, I have problems in the past as well with my v-amps, which
both did die after 1-2 years of usage. But yeah, Im not sure it is a mixer that I seek, in terms of quality Im quite
sure you will get a better sound with an headphone amplifier. But however thanks, I will definitely check it out!

Don't know about their amps, but their mics are pretty nice.

if you're interested in HeadRoom devices, poke around & you can find cheap used versions; eBay has a one /now/, #190105383404.

oh, yeah, i guess i should have included that i'm a big fan of the cross-feed circuit in HeadRoom amps (YMMV). it really helps in preventing listening fatigue. (you can switch it off; i have in the past; now it's always on.)

I've heard good things about the PA2V2 and the Go-Vibe V5 and V6

I've heard good things about the PA2V2 and the Go-Vibe V5 and V6

I'd recommend a pimeta for that price. They are built, bought and sold on head-fi quite a lot and you should be able to get one there with the right connections very easily.

forget the pa2v2. ive tried it with the k240s, and it didnt have enough power to drive them well

Thank you very much!
That's exactely what I need, I think Go-vibe V6 is the one I will buy.



Thank you very much for telling me this, how about Go-vibe V6, will it be any problems to drive my k240s ?

I own/have owned about 10 products from Behringer(from amps, to mixer, to crossovers, etc.). I have been buying their products for about 5 years. I have experienced one fault so far: a measurement microphone. Most of their products are built with high quality parts, and perform superbly. They have exceptions, of course. Those V-Amps look very cheaply made compared to a lot of their other gear. Their guitar F/X stomp boxes also seem very cheaply made.

As for quality, sorry, but you can not expect real audible improvement over what the mixer I recommended provides, unless you want a specific feature such as cross feed, which the mixer does not provide. However, you can expect imagined improvements; these seem to be very popular in the audiophile world.

Alright guys I have now received my go-go vibe amplifier, but I have serious problems to find a European power supply for the unit.

The power supply I seek is Mascot 2083 Linear Regulated (EU 2pin 24v version)
I have only found it on rs-components and other places where only companies are allowed to order. So my question is, is there any way for us private persons to order this online ?
Or is any distributor able to take it in ?

In sweden there is not many good distributors..

I found a PDF with specifications, maybe there is alternatives available ?
