Fuses that matter.

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.

There's nothing, "theoretic," about the molecular structure and grain boundaries of metals, and the effect on electrical conductivity. Just in case you're actually interested in facts: (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=metal+grain+boundaries+and+conductivity&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ei=Yy9dVMjWKsKcygTgwILYCg&ved=0CBsQgQMwAA)

The fact is a this is applied physics not theoretical physics. Someone is a little superstitious, one assumes....how long have directional cables and directional fuses been with us? Gotta be at least twenty years.

It seems the best bet would leave my top plate off my amp, and do listening test as to what may sound better by flipping the fuse's one way to the other to get best results instead of testing resistance of each side, I have bad luck, I would likly make the mistake checking resisance with the amp on and up in smoke everything would go?,listening would be my best bet, informative post here, enjoyable to read and learn from, carry on gentleman, cheers.

Mr A- If you intend to reverse your internal fuses anyway: do your measurements while they are removed from the amp, to eliminate any possible issues. Place them on something non-conductive and be certain not to touch your fuses or probes during the procedure, so as not to affect the results(the variations of which will be minuscule anyway).
