Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix

I have and enjoy a pair of Golden Helix speaker cables. I love these cables for many reasons, but I'm looking for more fullness to voices without loosing the quickness and sparkle in the process.
Does anyone have experience with Mapleshade's more expensive cable?

Thanks

DNM Reson is another line that seems to share some similar design principles and might have some similarities soundwise I suspect.

I read somewhere about Pierre Sprey and that he learnt of this kind of wiring while in England. It sounded good and made sense. I don't know if it was gleaned from a DNM product or some other make.

All the best,

I have not heard the Mapleshade wires but would like to. I am a fan of the minimalist approach for analog ICs in particular.

I have Golden Helix and Double Golden Helix Plus and to me it's definitely worth the difference. Plus it's easy to buy/sell used.

I too have both types for both systems (one tubed (Golden), the other solid state (Double Helix)), and after owning several different "high end" brands, I am very happy with these cables. They have a coherence factor that is uncanny and, relative to other cables, seem to keep the timing of musical events intact. This is extremely important to me with Thiels.
