Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.

"Ok now that you’ve said this, show where this is quoted that a 1/2" piece of resistance wire is directional.? Or is it your voodoo thought on the subject, and is not quoted anywhere else by any manufacturer of their fuse product?"

I just gave you two fuse manufacturers (HiFi Tuning and Isoclean) who have stated or implied (by putting directional arrows on their fuses) that, uh, fuses are directional. Did you fall asleep again?

Documented evidence would indicate the only real interest of some here is tooting their own horn no matter what. Not too hard to figure out. Its all out there for the reading. So kudos to those with useful information and with an interest in helping others understand things. It may seem like a waste of time sometimes but will pay off in the end.

George, it’s not clear who your last post was addressed to, but if it was addressed to the person who posted just above that post I think you may not have interpreted what he said as it was intended.

Geoff, thanks for the comprehensive response, although I’m not sure what the strawman argument was that I was attacking. BTW, when I referred to cable effects essentially all being proportional to length I should make it clear that I was referring to power wiring. While the same is also true for analog cables, it is not necessarily true for cables conducting digital signals. And in the case of digital cables, btw, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that they might be at least slightly directional under some circumstances, due to reflection effects that may affect waveform quality, that may in turn affect jitter. That might occur if the cable’s "characteristic impedance" is not precisely the same at both ends, perhaps due to minor soldering differences in the two connectors. Directionality due to that kind of effect, however, would be system-dependent, unpredictable, and unrelated to the direction of any arrow that may be marked on the cable.

Nice try but there is no such law as you seem to be implying. Mapman will probably buy it, though. That’s a Strawman argument by the way, I.e., a statement of "fact" intended to win the argument. Perhaps you can commiserate with the defense electronics dude.
