On the speaker there are two separate wires coming from the amplifier. One we call + the other -. The two wires carry the electrical signal to operate the speaker. Since the speaker cables are part of an AC circuit when the electrical signal travels toward the speaker on the + wire it travels in the opposite direction on the - wire. It is an alternating current and voltage circuit. The electrical signal alternates direction according to the instantaneous frequency of the “audio waveform.” The speaker only responds to the electrical signal at any instant in time whether it’s the + or - wire. So for that that instant of time you can pretend the other wire is not even attached to the speaker. There is no current, voltage or energy on that other wire. So, it’s only the direction toward the speaker that is important and the only direction we hear. One wire pushed the diaphragm out, the other pulls it back in. That’s why the wires in the speaker cables should be constructed so the best-sounding direction is honored. Then the cables are marked with arrows 🔚 so there’s no confusion. It’s not really rocket science. 🚀
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!
