on the directionality of fuses and realized You/we are

few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon
member. To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to
them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss
fuses and could not hear a difference. I did this test with a bunch of
friends and neither I or them could hear a difference. As
you stated no difference in sound whether 10cent Bussman fuses were in
or $150 SR Orange were in, to yourself or when the guys were around to
do the A/B with. cerberus79
Has the purpose of a
fuse been lost ? How it is designed to work ? By design there is no
directionality in a fuse. it is simply designed to open in an
overcurrent situation. If it was directional in relation to the current
passing through it would be a diode Same thing I say to them, if it’s directional then it’s trying to be a diode, and that NOT good in either direction! But
I can tell your Maggies will sound a touch better with just a piece of
copper wire soldered lightly outside of the fuse clamps and no fuses.
This makes them vulnerable to an amp blowing and going dc, as you know
having electronic knowledge background, but no more so than any other
speaker would have no dc protection either. You could try one of these if you want to retain the protection soldered to the fuse clamps. https://www.jaycar.com.au/5-amp-circuit-breaker/p/SF2254Cheers George

A few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member.
To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a difference.
I did this test with a bunch of friends and neither I or them could hear a difference. Kind of just says it all doesn't it?
To those non technical thinking of purchasing these $$$ fuses. Just save your $150+ and do this instead. A fuse: 1: two end caps 2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

The above post of mine is not in any violation of Audiogons posting rules, and is also not offensive in any way, neither is the added quoted post in it by cerberus79
So if it keeps coming down it is very easy for me to paste it back up, so then non technical can hear from the technical side before spending a small fortune on a 10cent fuse, then they can make up their own mind

I rarely post anything here. I did so this time because I had direct experience on the topic and reported it in a factual and non judgmental fashion. My reward was to be called a lier by one member and told I was in the wrong hobby by another ( I have been in this hobby for 49 years ). I am and always have been in this hobby for the enjoyment of music. I once got into a discussion with Geof Kait on the directionality of fuses and realized You/we are lucky GK has disappeared (or been banned) he was a real comic piece of work but fitted in well in these types of threads, and his website is really out there https://www.machinadynamica.com/machina5.htm best one is the pebbles. As for your Maggies I had quite a bit to do with them owning the big Tympanies also, before going on to big ESL’s. As you stated no difference in sound whether 10cent Bussman fuses were in or $150 SR Orange were in, to yourself or when the guys were around to do the A/B with. cerberus79
Has the purpose of a fuse been lost ? How it is designed to work ? By design there is no directionality in a fuse. it is simply designed to open in an overcurrent situation. If it was directional in relation to the current passing through it would be a diode Same thing I say to them, if it directional then it’s trying to be a diode, and that NOT good in either direction! But I can tell your Maggies will sound a touch better with just a piece of copper wire soldered lightly outside of the fuse clamps and no fuses. This makes them vulnerable to an amp blowing and going dc, as you know having electronic knowledge background, but no more so than any other speaker would have no dc protection either.

Please don’t argue with, or try to convince, George on this thread.
I always thought SR and new guys like this Quantum were using some kind of voltage conditioning process on the fuses, and the fuse price/level was just the amount of time that fuse spent on the conditioning device.
"voltage conditioning process" ?????? Wouldn't surprise me if Synergistic Research and
Quantum Science Audio, are one in the same, now that SR has fallen from favor and Quantum is the new cheaper snake oil fuser on the block. All that the members need to know that are thinking of buying into this fuse snake oil is
