Apex... I recently installed Stillpoint Ultra 5's under a pair of The Sonus Fabers. The improvement was profoundly good. My customer saw and heard them on my Aida's a few weeks prior.

Sorry, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I just don't buy into hocus pocus products like these. They're just designed to take your money.

Just my two cents of course.

As I said. they did not improve my sound in that location.
But I'v heard them improve sound.
Of course it's easy to say that they can't do any good. The best way of knowing is to try them.

The two power cables to Gryphon Antileon have been 2 Nordost Brahma, since that was what I hade in my spare parts HiFi closet.
All the rest of the power cords in my system are Nordost Valhalla. Therefore I wanted the same to Antileon. I know that it's a better cable.
Valhalla (red) and Valhalla 2 (green).

Compared to Brahma, Valhalla have a bigger sound. More depths, better micro dynamics, better timing, more airy sond. I didn't thought that the difference should be this substantial, just by changing power cords to the amplification. I'v heard some say that better power cords makes bigger difference to the pre amp than to a Power amp. But I'm not sure about that now.

What do you think of this? I need advice.
My connection in the back of Gryphon Antileon Signature is to tight for my Nordost Odin Spades. I can just fit one part of the spade in it.

Like this...

Is it better to change the connections on my Gryphon so I can fit the the spade into it, ore does it not make any difference?

Apexorca, try to squeeze the spades together a little it. I needed to do the opposite and it worked wonderfully. You can use some tools, too...

Yes, but I'am afraid that it will destroy the alloy and change the electrical properties. But I really don't know, just a thought.

How much are you missing? 2mm? Perhaps you can trim it with some power tools?
That is probably better than squeezing, since the deflection can increase resistance.

Thanks for the tip!

I think chipping the plastic surrounding the binding post is easier and cheaper than starting to mess about with an Odin cable. Just my humble opinion :).

Thanks for your humble opinion! I agree!
