Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.

I hope members here are not being sucked in by all this voodoo. Your audio equipment is designed by brilliant electronic technicians who have passion for good sound.

Don’t let these shilling witchdoctors here and their cronies that have no idea about the technical/scientific design of audio, suck you in with their voodoo BS!!"

Gee, if Shun Mook Mpingo discs were a hoax what’s with all those rave reviews? Do you reviewers were given a free Shun Mook Mpingo disc for writing a positive review? Or perhaps a big wad of cash? Do you believe there is some sort of global conspiracy related to audiophile tweaks like WA Quantum Chips and fancy fuses and Mpingo discs that is intended to appeal to young, naive and vulnerable audiophiles? Hey, weren’t the Chinese experts at brainwashing? Whaaaaaat? Lol

You are talking about Chips and fuses who are fake. My personal opinion is that over 95% of all product in audio are not worth the money it cost.

There are so many different products who are not that good as people think they are. I think this post will be removed agian.

People don't want to hear the truth, people want to hear what they wish to hear.

Tests are used to give an idea about the quality of the product? How big do you think the chance is that this is the truth?

Hello, just curious, how can they test a WA Quantum Chip? Has anyone actually tried to test one? I am not referring to listening tests, I’m already on board the whole freewheelin’ WA Chip thing. I’m referring to more uh, traditional tests. For example a fuse WA Quantum Chip. Oh, just an FYI - the first quantum chip, the original orange Intelligent Chip from Golden Sound, celebrated it’s 10th anniversary last year. ;-) There was even chips subsequent to the Intelligent Chip, which was for treating CDs, for placing on power cords and cables.

Another consideration regarding directionality. A fuse which is properly specified for the circuit is half way toward melting.

To which geofkait asked:

How so, Thom? If that’s actually true, what is the relationship of being "half way toward melting" to directionality? Just curious.  

I don't have an answer as to the effect based on a fuse's operating environment, but think about how directionality is explained - by the drawing of wire through a die inducing some sort of molecular alignment or orientation. 

If this wire (fuse) is then heated to near its melting point (and it remains so in its normal operating environment), couldn't this possibly have an influence on said orientation?

Perhaps this has already been covered since you asked the question.  This thread has taken off beyond my time constraints to follow it.
