Quantum Science Audio Thread

You guys can't leave it alone, 24hrs and still trying to jag a bites?? Keep it up, in the meantime catch this for your time and effort!

A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products you have.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH FUSERS ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!

Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

Cheers to those "non fusers" George

The only place a fuse has an audible effect is if it is placed in series on one of the + or - conductors of speaker wire. It will increase resistance and decrease damping factor. A bad way to protect a speaker from excessive voltage!

Also goes in a smaller way for DC rail fuses in some not so hiend amps.

Cheers George

Please do not make this thread about George. He clearly has a personal vendetta against products and posters he disagrees with. His purpose in posting is to stir up controversy, draw people into fights and get threads shut down. His clear mission is to suppress open discussion of topics that offend him. I do not understand why he is allowed to continue with this kind of behavior, but it is what it is. Engaging with him, however outrageous, provocative and hate-filled his posts are, Will only help him in his twisted crusade.

Are audio fuses directional?

A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from the left to the right when you view the fuse. If you do not know the direction of flow you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions. One direction will sound more detailed.

Does fuse affect sound quality?
What I mean is lower energy signals will be impeded more by this higher impedance state of the fuse on those bass notes that "pulsate" the fuse. So, yes, anything in line with the signal can affect the signal or sound. This pulsation is also not linear, so that also can affect the sound. I repeat Fuses do make a difference and "are directional"

If you have not listened to fuses you do NOT have an opinion..

Be nice and go away!
Bye Bye ;-)
