Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!)
geoffkiat said:Why would they test for audibility? They test for measured parameters. Remember? Unless you count audio reviewers.  Would that meet your obviously high standards? So now you are admitting there are not any credible third party tests...

geoffkait,You can’t even provide proof of any credible third party test that fuse directionality is audible.

Just as I suspected.  You can't.

The HiFi Tuning fuse measurements that are provided in data sheets on their website were obtained by an independent third party tester. For Fuse directionality? If it would not be too much of an inconvenience could you produce a web link of the te...

And what recognized industry third party would that be?Better yet. I am not disputing whether a fuse is directional or not. I believe many that have actually taken the time and tested it for themselves. BUT, with that said can you furnish anything...

110 (or 120) vs 220
jimspov said:I naively thought if I doubled the voltage I could ~double my available power (~quadruple at 4 ohms?) and that would vastly increase the pool of speakers I could choose from (e.g., Totem, Magnapan).Sorry, it doesn't work that way. The...

110 (or 120) vs 220
I presume that IF the unit was designed to run at 220-240 (as well as 110-120) that most of your concerns would be alleviated? Only if one of the 2 Line conductors feeding the equipment was a neutral, a grounded conductor.One Hot ungrounded conduc...

jimspov,Not sure what country you live in, your profile says n/a.If you live in the US it is against NEC code to install a 240V dedicated circuit to power a consumer sold piece of audio equipment. Good chance your local electrical inspection depar...

Power, (Watts, VA)  =  Volts X Amps. 
Power On Power Off
I should wait for 15 minutes before I turn them back on to avoid damaging the amps or tubes. On my ARC tube amp I wait at least 5 minutes. YMMV.Should I always wait before switching a warm, but powered off amp back on? Is the reverse also an issue... 
Buzzing noise.
As I just hooked up my system :"Just hooked up my system"? Please explain. From previously having the same system hooked up? Did you have the same buzzing sound before? No? What did you change in the system?I don’t why when I turn on the power amp...
