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

Might email NASA or AES. Hey, I wonder what The Amazing Randi would have to say?
" I saw the arrows as indications that there was something going on inside the "fuses" that required a specific orientation."

Well, what do the makers say about that?

IF nothing, then we are back where we started...he said she said.

If they do, then at least there is something material to talk about.
Well, actually, no there isn't in that which way DOES AC current flow again exactly? Both ways I think. That is why it is called alternating current. So there is no direction even in which to align anything.

So that means you can choose to try both ways and pick whichever you like best for whatever reason.

No wonder people like these things. They give you something to think about and you can NEVER be wrong!

Gotta love that....
There are two points of interest, at least to me and some others, in the quoted review. First, there are differences in the resulting sound depending upon orientation. Okay, granted that's subjective. But what isn't in this hobby of ours? Second, there was less line noise when measured with the orientation of the fuse along current flow within the circuit.

I'm not trying to be argumentative here.
"Second, there was less line noise when measured with the orientation of the fuse along current flow within the circuit.Second, there was less line noise when measured with the orientation of the fuse along current flow within the circuit."

It's alternating current folks. There IS no direction of current flow to align with.

That's the basic fallacy of directional fuses that people who want to believe choose to ignore, whatever their findings may be. So there would seem to be no way to know which direction is correct, although in this case the writer at least cites some measurements made, FWIW.

One accounting in a blog should not be taken for more than its worth, though those looking to build a case surely will.
