Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.

Someone try that and let us know if it works.  

We sell by shootout, people can make their own choices. If I had tested it before I would have sold it a lot earlier.

There are more brands in fuses. I had clients who used different brands. But when they compared to Hifi Tuning they replaced them.

Audio is comparing and testing. So test it yourself!!

Much discussion here about trusting your ears and how science cannot explain everything and yet, I am skeptical about the level of sonic difference (if any) that can be attributed to changing a fuse.   I am exponentially more skeptical about those who claim to clearly hear sonic differences between the installation direction of a fuse.

Have any of you who hear these differences ever really put that belief to the test?  I don't mean changing the fuse and then proclaiming how the sonic difference/improvement is clearly evident but rather a more challenging method of testing your ability to ascertain differences or improvements after changing a fuse?  

Here is a challenge;

1. Select two fuses that can be easily identified (e.g. Red and Black, etc.)
2. Insert one of the fuses in whichever of  your equipment you believe displays the greatest sonic impact from changing the fuse 
3. Listen for a reasonably extended period of hours to days using a variety of your familiar music, and take notes so you have a record of how the fuse sounds to you, and then repeat with the second fuse - keep track of which fuse is which in your notes
4. Enlist the help of a spouse or friend to install one of the two fuses and keep a record of which fuse is installed, but do not let them tell you which it is (for the test, make sure your spouse/friend installs the fuses in the same direction as you did under steps 2 and 3) 
5. Listen again for a similar extended period, compare what you hear with your initial two sets of listening notes and then write down which fuse you believe is installed
6. Repeat this process at least 5 times with the spouse/friend switching, or perhaps sometimes not switching, fuses but using each of the two fuses a nearly equal amount of times
7. At the end, let us know how many times you correctly identified which fuse was installed

If the differences between fuses are as profound as described in this thread, then I suspect many of you will guess correctly every time.   I would be curious to hear how you make out, and even more curious how you you do using the same procedure applied to the directionality of one fuse...any takers....Geoff?

I said to all my clients when you are not convinced send them back and You get your money returned. I never got any fuse back. Often people called me back and were amazed by the differences.

We care not talking about a small difference because then I would have got some back for sure. Even in subwo0ofers they make a big difference.

Most manufacturers of amps, pre amps and sources use cheap internal wiring. Here it is very easy to make a big difference.

You’re kidding, right? It was only a matter of time before controlled blind testing reared it’s ugly head on this thread. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t been brought up before now. Why, it's as if just bringing up the subject of controlled blind testing is supposed to scare the fuse affectioados into submission. Lol Your test procedure is even more complicated than The Amazing Randi’s Million Dollar Challenge test procedure and that’s saying something. If you’re so high on your test why not do it yourself? Let us know how it works out.
