I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.
Hi, audio labyrinth, Hi Fi Tuning used to claim that his fuses were not directional and that they would break in properly no matter which way they were inserted. But he has since recanted. In fact his data sheets provided on the Hi Fi Tuning web site illustrate that in fact wire is directional, and will exhibit slightly less resistance, for example, one way than the other. It's an easy experiment to listen to any fuse one way then the other. Hint: when the fuse is inserted in the wrong direction you should hear a little less coherent sound and a little more say stringent or harsh metallic sound.
Thankyou Geoffkait and TBG, Sgordon1, you gentleman were very helpful, this will be my first attempt with fuses, that is why I am asking about them, I believe the both of you, cables are directional most of the time, why not the wire in fuses?, makes sence to me, however, I agree with TBG and would like to know why this is so with fuses, do any of you believe that the wrong direction can cause damage to the unit?, hope not, cheers.
Geoffkait, I have been unable to find the data that you found on the Hi-Fi Tuning webpage. Can you give a specific address. Measuring resistance would be easy enough to do.
