THe Helix series is more refined and very smooth but the soundstage is more middle row compared to the Alpha (non Helix). I didnt like it in my system and sold it. I had the Python Helix. Other than that I loved it.

It is the best value in the Shunyata lineup. Still expensive IMO but a good one. You should be able to get one used for $700-$775? I would not hesitate to get one. The Shunyata powercords were made for the Hydra's. The supply cord always gives the rest of the system most of its sonic signature.
