I am just curious....if you buy a basic fuse direction does not matter. Why is it that the SR fuses or other high end fuses require proper directionality? They don’t it’s BS posted up here by the fuser voodooist and shillers. As AC mains is just that, "alternating current" that changes’s it’s direction 60 x a second, so how can a ac fuse be directional. Even the snake oil fuse manufacturers won’t come on here to back some of the ridiculous claims posted that tells you something. Cheers George |
To all those here that are thinking of blowing a $160 on a $1 fuse, don’t!!. Don’t get sucked into this snake oil. Even the fuse manufacturers won’t post here and back the claims made by these fusers for liability reasons. The only reason a change of fuse "could" make a sonic difference, is if the old fuse (a $1 or $160) one has seen too many turn-on cycles, as this always stresses the fuse with current surge, causing them to crystallize and harden "over time" re the time laps pics of the same $1 fuse, in two different cases below. This "could" make them sound different. The fix is just to replace the $1 fuse with the same new $1 fuse, instead of blowing $160 on a fancy looking voodoo fuse. Left to right aging same fuse. https://ibb.co/yp4yBkBRight to left aging same fuse. https://ibb.co/rm2sF49Cheers George |
jerrybj It’s best to ignore most of what George says. Really!!! And they are suppose believe someone that does this to his system?? What a laugh! No, Really! What a laugh! jerrybj I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.

The only thing funny is people still in denial over what’s long since been settled. All Synergistic comes with a 30 day return guarantee. You won’t need it. Won’t need to burn in for weeks either. It will sound good right out of the box. Better later. But good? Right from the very beginning. No what’s funny is the continued shilling by the same crew, thread after thread (even ones that have been closed and deleted) that goes on here for Synergistic Research snake oil. And it needs to be countered against, if not, it will become toxic for the gullible if there’s no opposing views put forward. It’s a 10c glass fuse, within it is a piece of resistance wire, designed to burn up at a certain amperage, then it’s wrapped in fancy Orange suit and sold to the gullible for $160!!!!!!!!!! The only way a fuse can sound better is if the old 10cent one has seen too many turn on cycles surges and has aged become crystallized and hardened, then all you have to do is replace it with a new 10cent one, not a snake oil $160 Orange one These two are the same fuse from new, that over time that have seen many turn on surge cycles https://ibb.co/yp4yBkBhttps://ibb.co/rm2sF49 |

the fact that the majority of fuses are on the incoming AC line, not on the rectified and filtered DC. Your lack of understanding makes you a perfect candidate for the pseudo-scientific claims foisted by Ted Denney and his Synergistic Research con men. He has no idea, for any fuse to be detectable the "right way around" it would have to be acting like a diode, which it’s not! It’s a 10c glass fuse within it is a piece of resistance wire, designed to burn up at a certain amperage, then it’s wrapped in fancy Orange suit and sold to the gullible idiots for $160!!!!!!!!!!

So correct me if I am wrong it is not the vertical rotation of the fuse outside the fuse receptacle and reinsertion of the fuse, but the rotation of the fuse on the horizontal plane while the fuse is in the holder. Please advise.
Thank you Short of sticking your finger in there to see which side kills you, you will never find out which side is live, unless you are a technician with an ac voltage multimeter and have the knowledge on how to use it. And BTW!!! AC mains is non directional anyway!!! So return them and get your $600 back, and put back the $1 worth of fuses you took out, before the return time runs out!!!. Cheers George |
It’s understandable why you are reacting to ’orange’ the way you have been It’s got nothing to do with it, but I’m sure if I had fuser voodoo skills, I could blame a Orange fuse being in the wrong way that started these insane fires, it’s about as believable as the other things they say an Orange fuses can do. |
There are at least two ways to decide which side is the hot side. One is to buy an inexpensive circuit tester screwdriver. When touching a hot connection the screwdriver will exhibit a bright light. The less reliable method is to look at the equipment and trace the direction the current flows. This sort of info, is extremely dangerous to ask a gullible or non qualified technician to do, and it should be deleted, some one, one day will get hurt or worse. |

And I laugh at you. No I laugh at what you have tried to do to get better sound.

Go to the "Misc Forum" and search, you'll find all snake oil answers there.
