Fuses fuses fuses


Ok, this is about fuses

1- a standard Bussman fuse is UL approved. Are any "high end" fuses UL approved?

2- do any component manufacturers supply their gear with any of the usual suspects of high end fuses as opposed to a standard Bussman?

3- let's say fuses do make a difference. Given incoming power is AC, why could fuses be directional? 

Not meaning to light any fires here- 

thanks in advance

DC or ac application of a fuse in the world of audio means it is subject to having signal modulated though it, in almost every single case of use. Except that of lets say a DC output power supply into another dc circuit. Minimized flow changes.... but there may still be some residual modulation in the throughput of the given fuse, if it is hooked up to a circuit which modulates draw..as... Audio = inconstant dynamic ac signal.

Reducing intermodulation is indeed the name of the game.  If employing fuses in DC circuits, local bypass capacitance is always a sound design practice.

We don't employ any fuses in the DC circuits of our equipment. They are all on the AC primaries of the power transformers involved. In most of our amplifiers there are three power transformers per channel. They are there to help reduce intermodulations that can otherwise occur in the circuit.


Who really cares the reason is confirmation bias and not actual sound quality!!
Someone, Anyone, tell me what to measure with an VOM or LCR meter or any other way to know what direction to drop these fuses in.... I really don’t want to listen to them a week each way to figure it out... If it is that obvious, someone should have figured this out... So

There is no way, it’s all voodoo.

The minuscule amount, (millionths of ohms) that claim to have been measured can be attributed to all sorts of things as Almarg explained numerous times.
And let just say there was a millionths of ohms difference, do you think a regulator that sits next in line in the circuit would care one iota!!!!!!! this is all BS and so are the people that claim it to be so. what about the dirty plug wiper contacts in your power point.

What people are hearing is are fuses that have seen too many turn on cycles which sags and carbons/corrodes them up, just replace for the same $1 fuse and your good to go.
Here is the same fuse that has seen too many turn on surges, over time left to right.
