Fuses fuses fuses

And this thread is only about fuses.

If it were "just " about fuses, this thread wouldn’t even have to go over a few intelligent technical posts.

This is more about some here who want to make out that $$$ fuses have some hidden magic (voodoo) to be found within, with an answer to the holy grail of great audio sound, nothing more, nothing less.

Has the purpose of a fuse been lost ? How it is designed to work ? By design there is no directionality in a fuse. it is simply designed to open in an overcurrent situation. If it was directional in relation to the current passing through it would be a diode. 

It seems no matter what is posted is simply overlooked so as to fit one's narrative. 

High rupturing fuses are not only better made but better in their application in audio gear and therein lies the rub. 

Google it.

Why is it that every other part of audio can be improved but not the fuse?

Yes, it's overpriced but what isn't? The same arguments have been used for cables and whatnot. Gone are the days of cheap glass tubes with cheap wire and end caps. Get over it.

All the best,

You have to admit there is some amount of irony in the fact (oops, there’s that word again!) that the HiFi Tuning fuses come with the diode symbol on them. Obviously fuses are not really acting like diodes in the sense they work only in one direction, it’s just to remind the user that the fuse sound better one way than the other. Besides we already know all wire is directional, not by design but by necessary process of manufacturer. Metal crystal like copper is not inherently directional physically or electrically, only when it’s drawn into wire. Make sense?

You might ask, Has the purpose of an amplifier been lost? How is it deigned to work? Shouldn't all amplifiers sound the same?

But, Georgie old bean, I haven’t seen an intelligent technical post from you here. I have seen intelligent technical posts from others. What’s up with all the angst and denial? One supposes it’s possible you simply can’t follow logical technical arguments.
