Fuses can be used to change or control the sound just like speaker cables, interconnects, capacitors, power cords or any wire or cable. Capacitors serve a function just like fuses. Yet capacitors are also directional due to the wire running through them. Since all wire is directional, including the teeny tiny fuse element, all cables, capacitors, fuses sound better in one direction vs the other direction. In one direction, that usually cannot be predicted by the user, the sound will be relatively more coherent, more natural and more musical than the other direction.
This proposition regarding directional can be illustrated most easily by reversing the direction of interconnects and evaluating which direction sounds better. Voila! I’m not referring to shielded interconnects, since they have their own independent issue regarding direction.
