We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses


LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

Same post of mine was just made in another thread, but this is worth repeating, IMO.

I understand your point. And I have no disagreement.

For what its worth, I've made my suggestion/recommendation known to Audiogon. The essence of my suggestion is to enhance forum moderation, by empowering the OP with some additional functionality (overview below) .

Let's be honest. The main issue or problem persona is GK. I simply believe in the eye-for-an eye, tooth-for-a-tooth scenario.

I've provided two channels for change, either one (or both) of which will have a dramatic impact. One is the enhanced forum moderation function, another is that I've essentially invited those who state the impossible to come visit Long Island NY and be my guest.

I think the idea of thread OP self moderation has been bandied around a few times . it has its merits but also its drawbacks.
However instead of clogging up other threads why don't you start a thread just on that subject and let's discuss it there?

Point taken. In this case it was a direct response to ptss within the thread where the presumed offense has occurred. 
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.

>>>>>Just in case you weren’t paying attention, which you probably weren’t, we’ve already established that ALL fuses (or almost ALL fuses) are in AC circuits. Hel-loo! So that shoots down the overly used pseudo skeptic claim that it’s ONLY the fuse located where the AC power cord enters the amplifier that can’t be directional. Follow? Your assignment - dream up some new bizarre theory why fuses can’t possibly work in AC circuits, you know, other than the current goes in both directions. That’s so lame.
