Quantum Science Audio Thread

Are audio fuses directional?

A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from the left to the right when you view the fuse. If you do not know the direction of flow you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions. One direction will sound more detailed.

Does fuse affect sound quality?
What I mean is lower energy signals will be impeded more by this higher impedance state of the fuse on those bass notes that "pulsate" the fuse. So, yes, anything in line with the signal can affect the signal or sound. This pulsation is also not linear, so that also can affect the sound. I repeat Fuses do make a difference and "are directional"

If you have not listened to fuses you do NOT have an opinion..

Be nice and go away!
Bye Bye ;-)

The Yellow fuse is phenomenal. The improved bass extension on its own is worth the price of the fuse.

@oregonpapa what did you think of the midrange now, as compared to the SR Orange?

"The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved. " 


"I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view."

This is, of course, Tesla refuting Einstein's theories.  He couldn't "get his head around" Einstein's work and made a number of strong statements regarding it.  Possible to be very intelligent and very wrong sometimes!

Guys, after extensive break-in...and yes, it was really "wonky" along the way and it took way longer than I thought it would for a "simple" fuse...but I have gone ahead and kept the "red" fuse for my Sorcer x4. I would say the break in was ~30 days? Not exact on this one, sorry. I did hold off on my assessment because the break in was again, wonky - bright, dark, etc...and kind of fluctuated...took a while to really settle in. 

Basically, I hear more air, bigger soundstage, more depth for sure, more detail, but also more relaxed at the same time - more musical. Interestingly, some of my recordings are "more" listenable, more musical. They were good before, but now are more enjoyable. 

I did not use any paste as I wanted to "hear" the fuse and the fuse alone...I may experiment with paste later on, but I like what I am hearing now. 

Based on this I would recommend a demo and let your ears and wallet decide.
