Is Lyra Helikon too analytical?


I'm currently using a Koetsu Rosewood, and planning to buy (or upgrade?) the Lyra Helikon. Essentially going from warm to analytical for the details in my opinion and according to what I heard, is that true? I also heard of a HP downgrade on this cartridge, is that just a rumor?

Thanks in advance for all the *expert* opinion!

Funny, but I like my old Clavis DC better than the Helikon as it makes the walls suck in and out with dynamics.....I can't afford a Titan, but it is everything I would like in a cartridge....Jonathan Carr has hinted that he is working on something between the Helikon and Titan and hope they get it ready soon as my old Clavis DC is going away....My suggestion is use the Koetsu into the 2004 CES in early January and hope that work is completed on the new cartridge....
