| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. "What you are most likely hearing is the warm-up of the unit after its been powered down in order to replace the fuse. I think you will find that this is repeatable, regardless of which direction the fuse is installed. This is an excellent example... | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi The best Dylan album is actually Modern Times if you ask me. I know, who’s asking. The only little problem I have with Modern Times is that it is unfortunately one of those CDs you hear about that suffers the indignity of overly aggressive dynamic... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables "I’m not advertising here on someone else’s behalf either, but would you believe a Graphene "Fuse Wrap" that you can apply to Any fuse?? Not yet quite added to the site, but "coming soon".http://www.alanmaherdesigns.net/#!shop/c1kcd There is no de... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables The Stealth Nanofiber Cables look very interesting. What appears to be Graphene or something very close is used for the conductor. No metal is used. Now, that is a really neat trick! Of course one big advantage of amorphous cables is you don’t hav... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Mapman wrote,"Well I guess if one is a theoretical physicist one can propose pretty much anything they want. After all it’s all, you know, theoretical. Some might even buy into the theory. Funny how these things work. Also so I feel slighted a bit... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. "Fuse directionality is not something exclusive to only high-end fuses. I found that even cheaper fuses have a preferred direction. One way to find out is to look at the cap ends with a magnifying glass. I found that the majority will have the ... | |

So by geoff’s logic that means there IS NONE. What a joke!"There is an exception to every rule. Of course, there are any number of pe... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Al refers to them as anecdotal. I prefer to refer to them as evidence. It’s what folks observe, you know, hear. Folks think of seeing as observation usually, but isn't hearing observation, too? t’s all part of the thing called the scientific meth... | |

What I am doing is asking in all seriousness (snarking aside) how it is a fuse can possibly be directional while operating in an AC cir... | |
