Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?

Hi Everybody, I am new to this Forum. Please clarify that,

Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a fuse holder to show

the direction to fix a fuse? Will all type of fuses have

'Arrow' mark? I need the advices to upgrade the fuses.

In one of a forum, I read the following 'Message'as follows:-

"The fuse has to be parallel to the overall direction of the sine waves coming from the wall socket and into you audio gear. If they enter at an unusually steep angle, the top (or bottom) peaks and throughs will get clipped off or attenuated and you will get jagged or almost square waves in you signal. The resulting SQ will be harsh and grating to the ears. Prolonged usage may damage the speaker coils as well."

So, friends,please give me a clear picture to replace a

'fuse' in my Preamp and DAC. Thank you.

Regards,

Rhapsodi.

I'm pretty sure I'm on the verge of looking for a new hobby.

I feel exactly the same way when I read some of these posts. No offense to Davehrab, but things like the quote below can drive me to the edge

Sebrof, could be that resistors don't matter that much. It also could be that some companies check wire pull direction and resistor direction before assembly. Resistors would be easy to do consistently given their markings.

TGB, this presumes the resistors were line up properly prior to the paint application?

For those bringing down the curve, most likely operator error.

Sounds like the same results I get when I spin my chair around 180 degrees.
