When properly setup and correctly loaded, the Helikon is certainly not analytical. In fact, the sound is rich and smooth without compromises in speed and transparency.
Most people who complain about the "thinness" of the Helikon are using the standard 47K ohm loading. Try 100-1000 ohms for a richer and smoother (i.e. more musical) presentation .
