Directionality Explained

I have read it argued against by those who think they know
Here is proof
Paul Speltz Founder of ANTICABLES shares his thoughts about wire directionality. Dear Fellow Audiophiles, As an electronic engineer, I struggled years ago with the idea of wire being directional because it did not fit into any of the electrical models I had learned. It simply did not make sense to me that an alternating music signal should favor a direction in a conductor. One of the great things about our audio hobby is that we are able to hear things well before we can explain them; and just because we can’t explain something, doesn't mean that it is not real.

Would you believe Audiogon has a discussion of HiFi Tuning fuse directionality here?

note - Be advised if you do a search for HiFi Tuning fuse directionality on Audiogon forums you get 105 results. Hel-loo!

Could it be the way fuses are made? Are both end caps attached to the wire in the same manner? Is there a little more solder on one end than the other?

And I’ve always felt that better and purer metals used in a fuse should have an effect on sound quality the same way a better made power cord would.

The crap they use in bog standard fuses are a witch’s brew of poorly conductive metals.

All the best,

>>>>You’re getting warm. There are a number of reasons why aftermarket fuses generally outperform stock fuses. Purity and type of metal used for the wire are two. Some HiFi Tuning fuse are made of high purity silver with gold, for example. The amount of Solder on the ends of the wire is almost certainly not a reason.
