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,

Simply_q, simply put, you don't know what you are talking about. You say, "there is actually something physical behind it." This is just nonsense. How would you know there is nothing "physical" behind it? As I said there is no merit in heeding anything you say.
Things can travel faster than light, EPR effects are instantaneous as noted above. Space can expand much faster than light as well. The Special Theory forbids the sending of SIGNALS faster than light. Quantum entanglement applies only to certain types of particle pairs where the values are indeterminant and the causing of one to take a value causes the other to take the other no matter the distance between them. The full implication of quantum theory are far from clear but I somehow doubt if the ability to tune up your stereo system over the phone, whether or not it is on, is one of them. This service is actually offered buy an Audiogon advertiser.

Simply_q, it is irrational to refuse scientific observation...

Scientific observation? Exactly what scientific observation is that?

You are right that it really is absolute polarity, but many call it phase.

Then they should call it what it really is.
Try a little education(though I doubt you're interested), and read the fourth section of this article(relating to harmonics): (http://www.arbiter.com/files/product-attachments/absolute_phase.pdf) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_phase) (http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/absolutephase.html) (http://www.sweetwater.com/expert-center/glossary/t--AbsolutePhase) OH, THAT'S RIGHT: None of those people know what they're talking about(ROTF/LMAO). Actually, I was quoting Ivor Tiefenbrun(founder of Linn Products Ltd), whose view of those that make statements concerning things they haven't heard, or tried, many respect and agree with.

Simply_q, simply put, you don't know what you are talking about.

Then instead of saying "you don't know what you're talking about" set me straight. Offer up something to expand one's knowledge on the underlying phenomenon.

You say, "there is actually something physical behind it." This is just nonsense. How would you know there is nothing "physical" behind it?

Why don't you quote the entirety of what I said? Which was:

"When someone makes claims with the implication that there is actually something physical behind it, I don't need to have "heard it" or "tried it" to have a valid opinion on the matter..."

The only opinion I expressed on the matter was that for one to accept prima facie that fuses are directional is to have one's mind so open as to allow their brains to slosh out on the floor.

I feel that's a quite sound and rational opinion.

How would you know there is nothing "physical" behind it?

That's not what I said.

Essentially what I said was that there's no obvious reason for that to be the case and so far no one has offered up even a plausible theory for it to be the case and to believe that it is the case is to go beyond being open-minded.
