Fuses that matter.

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.

Why does direction matter? If you were an electromagnetic wave would you rather travel over a porcupine's back with the quills or against the quills?

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.

If it's so easy why don't more people do it? Lol
