To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!


Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

Almarg is probably thinking to himself, darn, I knew I shouldn’t have posted on this thread. 🤡
Nothing here folks, and my comment still stands (regardless of Kaitty's regular supply of nonsensical attempts at insult over reasoned response)...fuses are met with a mishmash of wires and traces of which no regard has been given to direction, thus utterly rendering fuse direction meaningless, and power supplies, chokes, rectifiers, and a myriad of relevant bits simply are not subject to any performance enhancement from a fuse...they're simply not in spite of bloviating purveyors of expectation bias enhancing hyperbole.

I just finished explaining, energy is a scalar, it has no direction. It doesn’t flow. Hel-loo!

Correction: You just finished **claiming** that "energy is a scalar, it has no direction. It doesn’t flow."

Also, it’s worth noting that energy = power x time. Or putting it another way, power = energy per unit time. So the power company provides both power and energy to the homes and businesses of its customers, conveying both in one direction via wires. Just as an amplifier provides power and energy to speakers, conveying both in one direction via the speaker cables (although "back-emf" generated by the speakers may be conveyed in the opposite direction via those cables).

Everything Mr. Rodman has said in his recent posts on this subject is correct. And considering that the subject of the thread is fuse vs. no fuse I will not discuss this issue any longer.

Even though you probably won’t respond, almarg, you’re wrong. It is not something I made up. Energy and power are both scalar quantities. I must have had more physics in school than you did. It’s you who made it up. You could have at least checked Wikipedia. 🤡

You say you won’t come back to this thread. Is that a promise or a threat? These little drive by shootings of yours are not very becoming.
You say you won’t come back to this thread.

I didn’t say that. I said that I will no longer discuss "this issue," i.e., whether or not energy and power flow.  And I didn't say that energy and power are not scalar quantities.
