HiFI Fuses ?


Wow. I got out of this addicting hobby about a year ago. It took a lot but I did it. Still think back sometimes. But the thrill is gone. I am using old crap stuff right now and for the last year. Sold my gear and running Vandersteen 2c and Musical Fidelity electronics. Boring. Fine.
Just got a copy of Music Direct catalog. Now they have advanced HiFi fuses that will improve the sound.
My god I miss this type of stuff. I could have a field day with this type of info here at AG.
Wonder how much they cost :)

I'm with Bob P. on this one. I've yet to read a reasonable explanation for a fuses directional aspect, within any part of an audio cicuit. I'm open to explanations, though.

Tbg - Might you steer Bob and myself to some technical articles able to explain how these directional fuses work over conventional variations? I can't speak for Bob, but with over three decades of electronics background, I'm unable to grasp how a "directional" fuse could perform better in one dirrection over another, in any AC circuit, of which Bob has already mentioned some audio-related examples. Does ANYBODY have technical info able to explain?

People provide endless personal testimonials for a vast assortment of products (some "questionable"), but to a large percentage of audiophiles, this isn't "proof" of positive performance. I'm sure there are numerous products that even YOU scoff at without trying (clocks, pebbles, etc).

Surely we can keep this civil.

Man has been claiming to see and hear things since his beginning, for all sorts of psychological reasons, and without proof. Over time, much of those early beliefs were debunked by investigation, research, or science. Fortunately, we've stopped burning those whom we thought were "witches".
