Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Then comes the question of what exactly is the origin point, the true meaning... of phase lead and lag?

Not the textbook engineering (incomplete false dead end) answer, but how does it arise - as a complex question in the quantum sciences? That is more the essential question.

As the engineering answers, neither explain or solve any of these issues that the ear hears.

Otherwise this circular merry go round would have died off in the very first two person discussion.

The suggestion is that neither party has a true grip on the issues.

One is willing to admit there is a problem (listeners with ears), and willing to admit they don't know.

The other is not willing to admit that their engineering bible is flawed and full of holes in it's logic edicts.

Those who 'get it' from both sides of the scenario, will never be involved in such discussions, as the answers allow for the making of product or solutions in the scenario, which are also potentials for financial gain.

Some who may not know how it all works, might find themselves manipulating the effects in order to make money off the people who admit they hear something going on.

It is a market that is seemingly at odds with itself from all directions.

As some have stated, on badly designed equipment with under-rated fuses the fuse can be stressed on power up and resistance may rise leading to eventual failure. This used to happen in the past with Zinc based fuses. This should not happen with modern copper or silver based fuses in proper modern well designsed equipment. Should you experience an improvement it suggests that the original fuse was faulty. That you hear no directionality is correct - there isn’t any.

Al, regardless of your point about voltage being alternating, which may be true who knows, it doesn’t change the fact - as you well know - that resistance and therefore conductivity is measured as being different by 5% depending on which direction the fuse is inserted. Even in AC circuits. Your argument about voltage was the response to a trap I set especially for you. Nice try! The same argument I just made for only worrying about the current flowing toward the speakers and ignoring the current flowing toward the wall can be made for voltage. Hel-loo! Ohms Law! Gimme a break! 😛

It is absolutely true, correct? After all, we can measure it, no?

Who cares if it's true or not? It's a red herring. Duh!
