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

@roberttcan, I take it therefore that fuse "directionality" is, you would argue, impossible?

Since you ask you have shown you don’t know the difference between a field and a wave. Or between an electron and a photon. And you’re unwilling to learn. You are a classic pseudo skeptic on a mission.  For those reasons I’m out. See you in the funny papers.

Theoretically, as I noted, transmission line effects are possible, but would be at such high frequencies as to have no possible audible effects. 

Far far more likely, would be simple, and practical effects, not geoffkaits physics babble.

Fuses and fuse holders are mechanical devices. It is possible that the combination of the fuse shape and the holder shape is more conducive to lower resistance in one direction. However, don't get caught up in the trap for AC fuses that less resistance is always better.

Ditto, fuses are thermal devices, a better mechanical connection in one direction coupled with a fuse defect resulting in asymmetrical heating could cause more thermal modulation in one direction. However, unless the fuse is pushed to its limits and the amplifier has some serious serious design issues, thermal modulation of the AC fuse is not going to be audible.

I am going to go out on a limb and say you have NO formal education in physics or an engineering field deep enough to give you knowledge in this area .....

That is why you think you know what you are talking about, but don't really. You are out, because you cannot win this argument. You are out because you cannot bully me. You are out because you are wrong. That you would even bring up quantum effects when discussing the directionality of a fuse means you don't have even the most basic understanding of circuits. 

Yes, please go,  you are adding nothing to this conversation.

HOWEVER, unlike you with your half-baked physics babble, I have actually posited some REAL WORLD ways in which a fuse "could" behave different if inserted in a different direction. It's amazing what actual experience allows one to do when coupled with the theoretical knowledge to use it.

Gee, are you looking in the mirror?  I was thinking the very same thing of you.
