Stillpoints Ultra SS Orientation

For as long as I have owned my Stillpoints Ultra SS I have had the narrow end pointing down. I use 4 Stillpoints per component.

Yesterday, I moved them so that the narrow end is facing up towards the component and to my surprise the soundstage was a little fuller with a much better center image.

So component by component I changed them all.

Really, I thought 4 would be better. I'll give 3 a try. Thanks.

I also observed that moving them in different locations under the components also changes the sound.

Thanks Rbbert, So far I am in agreement with you.

However, it does seem to me that they must have been designed with a certain direction in mind. Otherwise, why is one end different than the other?
So far no help from Stillpoints...

1kitch, Thanks for the response. That makes sense and it confirms what I am hearing.
I sent emails to Stillpoints with no reply.
Dealers say to try it both ways.
