Quantum Science Audio Thread

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.

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 ;-)

The Yellow fuse is phenomenal. The improved bass extension on its own is worth the price of the fuse.
