Gents,
I stuck my neck into the "Red Fuse" debate recently and it found it fruitless. This fuse "direction" debate is even more absurd. Lots of educated folks propound evidence that it is BS with AC current. All smart guys know that to be the case. Others, perhaps with an expectational bias, hear it differently and good for them and the boutique fuse marketers.
The point of my post to my erudite friends hereon, from whom I have leaned plenty (you know who you are) is that engaging GK in a rational argument about electrical circuit behavior is a fool's errand, just tiltin’ at windmills. You are trying to engage in a logical, rational discussion with him and it is impossible. He is on a different wave-length in all manner of his perception of reality and clearly loves to pull everybody’s chain who is thinking about anything that makes any sort of sense. I am scornful of his often successful attempts at making thoughtful and helpful posters take their eye off the ball, which is our enjoyment of music and the gear to do with, to engage in his ridiculously inane assertions. My best advice is not to engage the fellow as it is less productive than dealing with a petulant two-year old child who is having a "bad hair" day. The big picture is that in the audio world, GK is as insignificant as the atoms he sees floating around on the surface of conductors. I pity him as he brings nothing but vitriol to these discussions. We are all bigger than that. Cheers lads, Whitestix
