API lunchbox 6b question

I recently got some advice on a preamp for my mic. I was told to get a lunchbox 6b and a API 212L mic preamp, but when Vintageking sent me both it didn't look like they were compatable. Did I get bad advice and waste my money or am I not looking at this right? Do I need a 512 or will the 212 work? If the 212 works, can someone explain to me how it fits in the Lunchbox 6b?

Head phones for electronic gear.

Hi. I'm a bit of a recording novice. More of a musician than anything. I use a mix of electronic gear and acoustic gear. A live drum set, congas, assorted percussion, a roland td-6 and hand-sonic. I'm looking for some semi-open headphones that are affordable in the $100-150 price range. I was thinking about the AKG K 240 S.
