What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed


What direction should Hi Fi Tuning fuses be installed? They have a little arrow and I would think it would point the direction of AC flow but maybe it points to the AC source?? SEEMS to sound better that way. I know someone will say put it the way it sound better but i have 3 fuses here. That is 6 possible ways. Not in the mood for that. The arrow must mean somethuing. What about Furutech? Thoughts welcome. keith

Nonoise, so no one should buy a wine, car, or take a wife without proving their decision to others. I should note that you have not proven that you are right.

Magnetic waves are induced by any electronic current and electronic current flow is induced by any magnetic wave movement. So any motion in wires will induce magnetic waves and thus current flow. So we are doomed.

Since every piece of audio gear I have ever tested has the hot wire going to the circuit and the neutral returning to the wall outlet, there is always a difference in direction. I don't know of any naysayer who has ever changed where the hot goes to see whether it sounds different. For that matter I doubt that any naysayer has ever tested whether they hear a difference in fuse direction. And finally, I often wonder how naysayers pick the equipment they have. Is it entirely at random; the cheapest; or the prettiest?
Rodman,
Nice post and historical quotes!
I respect the study and application of science. I do recognize there are numerous phenomenon and questions that science simply can't explain or answer (yet). At this point in time it seems our ear/brain detection prowess is far beyond what science can currently adequately explain. I tried high end fuses and they unquestionably improved my sound quality, it was that simple. What I can't do is discuss "why" or "how" this is so. I accept what I hear and just enjoy the improvement when it's available.
Charles,
Rodman99999, you went to the trouble to gather all of these examples where we learned that we don't know everything. I have always thought to do that. I used to have a citation of a speech by Harold Lasswell about the findings of the American Soldier project during WWII. He noted many findings, such as that black troops working better with Southern white officiers than with Northern white officiers etc. as findings. And he noted that everyone would have guessed this. Then he says about all of these findings, that they were not true.

I sought an EE degree but was also taking physics courses. They are like oil and water. Finally, I got a physics major, but as you might know a physics major from the '60s is not at all current, but a EE would be.
Like most threads about fringe tweaks like fuses eventually do, this thread has now run its course repeating the same old positions with nothing new of interest.

Time to find some other dumb topic to waste time with.....
***Time to find some other dumb topic to waste time with***

Dumb? Hardly. This thread is discussing the essence of high-end audio.

This particular thread happens to be about hearing fuses, but it could have just as easily been about ICs or PCs or cable lifters or green magic markers etc ... .

These things are what seperates high-end audio from Normal Audio Enthusiasts and Music Lovers.

If you think this is Dumb, then in effect, you think high-end audio and audiophiles are dumb.

In for a penny, in for a pound. You cannot pick and choose.

If you are, jumping ship, I understand Yorx is having a blow-out sale on certain models. Better hurry.

Cheers
