Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
I am going to re fuse my Pass X250.8 and XP-32 with Synergistic Research purple fuses in a couple of days. I was hoping to get advice on a rule of thumb for direction of the fuses. My instinct tells me to start by installing the fuse by the direction of the lettering on the fuses. I am thinking that the direction should be the lettering left to right with the beginning of the lettering facing out of the amp and the end of the lettering facing into the amp. Does this sound right?

When I bought the Duelund CAST-PIOs for my Carys; I asked which lead was the outer foil. "Doesn't matter!", they said. I've had a habit of testing everything for noise/best performance, before committing to an install, for decades. Just an FYI (If one doesn't own an O-scope): Just rig an RCA lead with gator clips and plug it into one of an old receiver/integrated's PHONO inputs, with the volume all the way down. With a speaker attached, of course. Hook up the cap's leads and LIGHTLY grip (especially films) the sides of the cap, while slowly raising the volume. Keep it real low! Change the component's input selector, and switch the cap's leads (don't move the volume). Switch the selector back to PHONO. One direction (when the outer foil's lead is connected to the Positive Phono lead) will result in much more hum. For the lowest noise in a signal circuit; connect the outer foil to the lower impedance (signal source). OH, and: It REALLY DID matter!

Perhaps I should have said, "That's why there have been so many theories and theorems." ie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electromagnetic_theory Many folks are still wrestling with the High School level understanding, of shoving electrons around, in a conductor. Such that do, are still stuck with theories proposed in the 1800s. To help you understand the difference between a hypothesis and a theory, a copy/paste from another post: The goal of the Scientific Method: to answer WHY observed phenomena occur. The steps of the scientific method include: 1) asking a QUESTION about something you observe. 2) doing background research to learn what is already known about the topic. 3) constructing a, "hypothesis". 4) experimenting or testing the hypothesis. 5) OBSERVING the results 6)ANALYZING the data from the experiment and drawing CONCLUSIONS*. ttps://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/scientific-method-steps When one of the Sciences runs into a phenomena, for which it hasn't yet figured out a method of testing (experimenting) the HYPOTHESIS, or: can't yet understand (analyze) whatever data might been found during experimentation, there can be no categorical, answer* to the question, "WHY?", and a, "THEORY" is proposed. *Without definite conclusions, there can be no categorical answers.

Inescapable FACT: No one understands exactly how electricity works. That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY. The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is always amusing. Whenever some educated someone actually does discover exactly how electricity does function, they’ll be lauded by the scientific community, will have solved some of the disparities between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, receive a Nobel and we’ll hear about it. Newton’s THEORIES were largely superseded by Einstein’s, then came Feynman’s. For now; none of you can categorically prove your statements (theories), regarding fuses, wires, or anything else, as regards our systems. The following are for your edification/education/ https://www. then: http://hyperphysics. Happy listening, even to those that refuse to follow the scientific process of observation and experimentation, in their own systems, with their own ears, FOR FREE (ie: 30 day return policy, from some manufacturers). |
