Fuses and confusion

@ squeak_king_77  This is regarding a stock fuse and remember I mentioned trying to trick my wife by not reversing the fuse and she was expecting to hear a change for better or worse but admitted that she couldn't hear any difference on that occasion.

The change is small with a stock fuse but we are not arguing magnitude of change but only that there is a change. Individually I don't know if I could enter the room and identify the direction of a single fuse, however if all the stock fuses have been correctly placed then I could.

Swapping all the fuses and then changing them back is very disruptive, not gonna happen. I do not need to prove anything to you nor anyone else. I heard what I heard. It was this revelation that lead me to seek better.

This is not about me, its for the arrogant and ignorant who without trying for themselves claim, snake oil, rip off and don't waste your money etc.

If the fuses are of higher quality then the game changes.

Have you tried it and if not why not?

Fuses do make a difference. I say again, fuses do make a difference.

For those of you arrogantly stating that we are wasting our money, get over it. I am interested in finding out which fuses work best with different fuses and every time I read a fuse thread the same know-it alls have to make themselves heard. Do you feel better after belittling a poster with a genuine desire to learn and seek guidance.

To the naysayers: if you don't think a fuse can change anything here is a challenge and it's FREE. Remove a stock fuse from a component and swap the direction when you replace it and see if you notice any difference. If you don't hear any difference then go find something else to do instead of harassing good folks here who can hear these things.

My wife and I listened to the reversal of a fuse in 6 components and we heard a change in sound on every occasion. 3 of them were the wrong way. When I got to the 5th component, my Wadia DAC I fussed at the back of the unit but did not change the fuse. My wife said she couldn't hear any difference this time, to do it again.

I tried a few different fuses in my DIY power amp and the best was a solid copper rod. I have now soldered a permanent bypass across the fuse holder. Yes that's right I am running direct. Zero fuse. Now relax, do not have a conniption, I am not advocating anyone try this. I am comfortable with my build and only have the amp on when I am in the room. It's my amp, my house and my increased joy.

In this game everything matters, including fuses. You have been challenged, are you up for it? Remember it is free. Try it and report back.

Either this thread is dead or the doubters have taken up my challenge and are too embarrassed to admit that there is a difference.

@ squeak_king_77  No problem, you are someone I would welcome feed back from. I have just one SR Blue in my DAC. I had 3 such fuses at one time but found the detail resulted in a slightly over the top edge to the sound. Certain female vocal would make me wince and generally the overall effect was a bit splashy and sibilant. Hoping to find a fuse that lowers the noise floor but without adding anything.
