Cary 300SEI vs Art Audio PX-25

Currently have the Cary. Considering the AA. I'm driving a pair of AKG K1000 headphones ONLY now. Worth the change? Nothing wrong with Cary just looking for different experience. Just didn't want to fidelity for new experience. Any comments greatly appreciated. Thanx

I think you can split the diference sonically and have a bit more "drive" with a set of Audio note 300b monos. If you're just driving cans the Audio Note P3 or P3 Silver would be ideal.

The US importer for Audio Note uses AKG's I believe and he turned me on the the idea. I use the P3 Silvers as my main amp.

I don't know about use with phones, but, with speakers, the two are quite different in sound. The Cary is extremely warm and lush sounding. The PX-25 is much more neutral and nimble sounding. I really like the PX-25 on speakers much more, but again, it is a matter of taste and application.
