Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?

>>Simply_q: "Because I'm a human being. And like all other human beings, I'm just as susceptible to perceiving differences even when none exist in any actual physical sense."
Yup, pretty well documented that the human mind is real good at tricking its owner. No mystery at all. In fact, hearing a difference or not hearing a difference is pretty much what is supposed to happen, depending on your POV going in, whether there is a change or not.

But people who say they hear a difference never confirm with a blind test. It's so easy to pull the fuse, toss it up in the air so you don't know which way it's facing, install and listen. Nobody seems to do this, and based on what we know about the way we perceive the world around us this amazes me.

You guys who say that those who have never tried do not know. I agree. But those of you who have tried and have heard do not know either...just my opinion.

You will probably also be amazed to know that none of the 'skeptics" ever confirms that changing the direction of the fuse does not make a difference using a blind test. It's so easy.

If neither the skeptics nor the believers are willing or able to confirm with a easy blind test, then, does the subject discussed really matter at all?

Just a thought. But it seems so many topics in this hobby fall into this kind of elusive category.

The subject matters to the "skeptics" only to the extent that it's another opportunity to suggest that blind tests would *prove* the damned thing doesn't work. "Skeptics" automatically assume the damned thing doesn't work. How scientific is that?

Actually, in my case I'm looking for proof that it does work. There's nothing that I have seen to suggest to me that changing the direction of a fuse will change the sound. Based on that I think it makes perfect sense for me to automatically assume that "the damned thing doesn't work" as you put it.
My integrated has a fuse holder at the back, so I can access the fuse without opening the case. Tonight I'll swap the fuse around and see if I hear a difference.

Are you guys talking about the AC mains fuse?
