We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

Fuse direction has absolutely zero to do with phase. For fuses dealing with alternating current, fuse direction has absolutely nothing to do with anything. One could think they hear something "like" phase anomolies from changing the fuse direction, but it's more likely the change is imagined.

The fuses left in the drawer don't have any effect on circuits. The ones installed in gear, with AC involved, pass current both ways. I looked it up.

Tubes contain enough components in their makeup to display tonal differences in a somewhat obvious, and generally explainable way…fuses, even with all of the back and forth conversation including  accolades for the "magic" high end versions, claims of sonic differences between these things, and hyperbolic exaggeration from "fusers" claiming amazement at the resulting sonic nirvana provided by fuse replacement, have left one item off the plate in this entire dialog: Why do expensive "audiophile" replacement fuses, when used with any component anywhere, do anything other than act as a fuse? What makes them "more fusey?" Do they provide more fusage? Is it likely they're tiny fund generators for businesses recognizing that subjective opinion is trashed when expectation bias creeps into the brain from the bank account? People claiming to hear things is not new, and people who claim to not hear things in the face of ridicule from others is also not new. But people designing things without any attempt at noting how and why they may work is somewhat unethical, and simply appeals to the desperate tweaker who seems to need something to imagine.

There’s no mystery that tubes have an obvious effect on the tone of things…this is exactly what I said, with no inference as to wondering why (I decide what to wonder about as I am the Wonder Decider). Also, to compare speaker cable performance with fuse performance seems ridiculous because many feet of purpose built wire is utterly a different enchilada, as a fuse is a teeny wire…albeit possibly utilizing Quantum Coupling and, as they say: "In fact, UEF Tech is so powerful even an electrical chain several miles long is fundimentally (their spelling) improved with nothing more than a single fuse engineered with our patented UEF Technology." Electrical chain into yer wallet!
On another note, New Jersey has some astonishingly beautiful areas away from the cities, and NYC is possibly the coolest city in the world and I visit there often. Sometimes to shop for fuses in the Fuse District.
