Fuses that matter.

One reason why aftermarket fuses usually sound better than stock fuses is simply because they are inserted in the proper direction, especially if the stock fuse was inserted backwards. Now, knowing that wire in the fuse is directional should be a tip-off that all wire is directional, no? Can you imagine what the sound could be like if all speakers and electronics and transformers and capacitors, etc. were fabricated with this directionality in mind? Hel-loo!

Sorry Hifial, I missed your post, "Red" seems interesting. Thanks

Hi Geoffkait, Do you really believe that fuses would be directional?, I will need four of the SR Reds to go into my krell 700cx, the reply from krell when I asked them about these fuses being directional,quote, you read to much into this, it does not matter which way the fuses go in your amp, end quote, However, I would like to know how I can decide which way the fuses set inside my amplifier to sound best?, It is my opinion that the manufacturer does not know everything concerning fuses after that reply to me, are do you think that they are correct concerning their product?

Audiolabyrinth, when SR came out with their earlier fuses, their chief engineer said that the zapped them both ways on their tesla coil. This made them non-directional, he said. When I got some, I found that they always sounded better in one direction and that this was opposite to the writing on the fuses. I have never found that fuse direction doesn't matter, but I haven't a clue why this is so.

I have not tried the new SR red fuses as yet. It is probably a pain identifying which way sounds best as this may vary on production runs. I would be helpful were we to have research on this to tell us why direction is important, rather than putting our heads in the sand as so many do.

If you can hear a difference, then there is a difference.
If you can't, then there isn't. For you, in that specific
application.
