Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Sorry to chime in again. The fuses should be evaluated one at a time. Trying to evaluate all fuses in the same direction according to the lettering, then reversing all of them at the same time is not effective, at least not unless the fuse directionality is predetermined at the factory. It’s like trying to solve three simultaneous equations in five unknowns. Since SR is correct that all fuses are directional if only 50% are in the right direction the overall sound will still be less than ideal, I.e., when all fuses are in the correct direction, which is different from saying the lettering of fuses always goes in the same direction for best sound. Repeat the entire process, one fuse at a time, you know, just in case you were unsure of the direction of one or more fuses the first time around. At the risk of alienating anyone I will repeat for the umpty umpth time fuses are directional because wire is directional.

Direction of current in each fuse holder? This by itself is ridiculous, and "fuse direction" isn't merely a myth, it's irrelevant in the face of even a basic understanding of electric current. "At the risk of alienating anyone I will repeat for the umpty umpth time" that fuses are NOT part of the signal path and have zero…and I mean zero…effect on the signal when performing properly. Zero. If a fuse does have an impact on the signal in any meaningful way, things have somehow gone wrong, and the tiny wire has melted…like it's supposed to.

"I will repeat for the umpty umpth time that fuses are Not part of the signal path and have zero...and I mean zero...effect on the signal when performing properly. Zero."

OK wolf_garcia, if one were to use that logic then it would seem to me that the use of after market power cords would also have "zero...and I mean zero...effect on the signal"

But I don't think anyone here would claim that power cords don't make a difference, even you. So why is it not possible for the fuse that passes the same power as the power cord does to have no possibility of changing the sound we hear?

Just wondering,

Thanks so much for reassuring me. Your wisdom means the world to me.

The only direction of current in an AC circuit we should be worried about is the direction pointing towards the system. You can forget about the direction pointing toward the power plant. Hel-loo!
