Shunyata Python Helix. How good they are?

I bought one for my sim 5.3 player,swearing that this is my last cable upgrade for a long time.Very content with the move.saying that i dont have experience with your cable,trying one and turning it around always an option...

Blindjim pretty much summed it up for you.

I've have two currently, one 20amp feeding a hydra-2, another 15amp version on my tube amp. The one exception to any equipment I've owned is the MHDT Havana Tube DAC, where a Taipan Helix actually is a better fit.

Almost all my experience has been with their helix cords and I have zero complaints, nor would I care to look elsewhere.

I love my Pythons. Absolutely agree with Blindjims description. I replaced my Taipan Alpha's with the Pythons on my amps and the difference is exactly as described. I think part of the magic is system synergy-I use shunyata hydra and all power cords are Shunyata.

Python is great and get me extremely close to anaconda for much cheaper. I later changed to anaconda and it was not a huge difference. The difference PC makes depend on the amp/preamp and the quality of the AC. When I had the pass amp, the pc did not make much difference.

I also like the master coupler and find that they are great for tube equipment. It increased resolution and bass. It kills the midrange with SS preamp/amp.

If you can, try before buying. If you buy from the gon, there is not much to lose.
