We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

@geoffkait

"The question that should be addressed is just how much of a change a fuse introduces,"......"it’s so small as to be insignificant"

Bingo! You are getting closer.....just a couple of superfluous words too many - I removed them for you...keep trying.

Sorry, Mitch, that wasn’t me. 😬

The actual quote, in it's entirety is:

Everyone agrees that no fuse sounds the best, so just what is it that degrades the sound? Bueller? Bueller? The question that should be addressed is just how much of a change a fuse introduces, not that it's so small as to be insignificant. That undercuts the very argument of those who rely solely on measurements alone.

Now, keep typing, if so inclined.

All the best,

The AC signal continually reverses direction, at the rate of 60 cycles per second or whatever. That’s why it’s called alternating current. It the signal first travels one direction then the other. It is therefore bi-directional. It’s not non-directional or indirectional. It’s not continuous as I’ve seen you say somewhere.

But when we talk about fuse directionality we’re referring to the idea that the fuse sounds better when the fuse is inserted in one direction rather than the other. A fuse in an AC circuit is directional because what you hear in terms of sound depends only on the signal during the alternating cycle when it is traveling toward the speakers from the amp or to the amp from the wall, whatever. You don’t care what the signal sounds like when it’s traveling back toward the wall outlet. That’s why fuses in AC circuits are directional.

@geoffkait  and @nonoise 
You guys were paying attention.
I became overly excited when I thought we were making progress.
I still find,

"so small as to be insignificant"

to be the salient point of the entire statement
