Shunyata Python Helix. How good they are?


I saw that the price of the Shunyata Helix series dropped down because the new CX series appears.
So now I can buy the Python Helix Alpha used, but I want to know your opinions and experiences.
How good they are ? Up to the moment I use the Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler for my Sonic Frontiers Line 2se preamplifier and my Pass Aleph amplifier. Do you consider that if I move to the Shunyata Python Helix Alpha I will really upgrade my system ?
I will apreciate your suggests.
Thanks.

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.
