You can’t tell by looking at them. You have to try them both ways, one at a time. One way will sound better than the other.

Most likely Kimber cables have arrows for some other reason than wire directionality. Maybe shielding direction, who knows? I never perceived Kimber as being at the forefront of Cable technology, but maybe that’s just me. What I do know is than many high end cable and electronics makers are at least two paradigm shifts behind the power curve. Fuses, wire directionality and power cords are excellent examples. It certainly appears they all either never got the memo, like yourself, or completely dismissed it as too much trouble to get involved with or else it’s just too late to change their ways. Mule metaphor. Dog metaphor, Old dog, New tricks. 🐩

What! Whoa! Another direction person?! OMG! What’s that make now, 40,001? Well, shut my mouth and call me corn pone! 😛 |
Hi, the direction of writing on cables (unless specifically recommended) or the direction of the diode symbol or name on HiFi Tuning fuses are not (rpt not) the key to the correct direction. |
|
Question: did you evaluate each fuse one at a time for directionality? With so many fuses direction of fuses is critical.

The incident under discussion happened long long ago in a galaxy far far away. Too long ago to matter. Let’s move on. Frankly, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if it wasn’t even true. Somebody’s got a bee in his bonnet 🐝 No big deal. Besides, gentle readers, even stock fuses have issues from time to time, you know, like blowing prematurely. 🔥 It’s not exactly a big secret. 🤫

But did you blind test the cat food tuna? |
You’re not a good example. Yeah, like Chuck Audio Mart. 🤗 Audiophiles want tuna that tastes good, not tuna with good taste. 🐬

If frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their a-- so much. If Judge Judy was 6’ 2’ she could have been a big basketball star. Woulda, shoulda, coulda! Amplifier designers are generally about two paradigm shifts behind audiophiles. Fuses is a perfect example.

Were they looking in the mirror?

One has to wonder when that strange incident with the HiFi Tuning fuse happened that RM constantly brings up on every audio website he can find. Was it 6 years ago? 8 years ago? 10 years ago? Is he obsessed. Are fancy fuses his White Whale? 🐋 Thar she blows! Shiver me timbers! Is RM the real fuse troll? OMG! Be that as it may Audio Circle is the perfect audience for his uh, point of view, as it were. Here, not so much. 😬 |
All I have to do is type the word lazy and Joy Boy shows up.

Yes, I know your position and your defense of RG, your hero, that’s why I included ramtubes among the mossbacks. If you’re an agnostic the question is why? How can anyone be neutral on the subject of fuses or fuse/cable directionality these days. Laziness? 😃

Hey, Costco-emoji, Georgie Boy, ramtubes, mapman, bdp24, Sheepstalker, are you guys asleep at the wheel? Here fishy, fishy...🐟 🐟 🐟
