05-21-12: GeoffkaitI could not have been clearer in my post on 5/18 that I did in fact test fuse direction during my experiment. In the METHOD section, I said...
Hmmmm...one wonders if Bryon Cunningham installed some of the fuses incorrectly during his recent testing of aftermarket fuses. If so, that might explain his less than stellar results...
--Fuse direction was noted during every swap.And in my RESULTS section, I said...
-- 3 auditions of each fuse in each direction
I could not hear any differences when changing direction for any of the fuses. Make of that what you will. Bad system. Bad ears. Bad method. Bad attitude. I just didn't hear it.That should clear that up. As far as your comment that...
I have lost faith in ANY tests of fuses unless the person performing the tests is already familiar with the difference in sound fuse direction makes......you can't possibly mean what that appears to mean, namely that, in order to hear differences among fuses, you must have ALREADY HEARD differences among fuses. That would mean that no one could possibly hear differences among fuses FOR THE FIRST TIME. That is dumb.
You've been accused of many things, Geoff, but being dumb isn't one of them. So you must have meant something else.
