Hello everyone. I’m new here. Josh. I’m 45 and consider myself an audiophile. I got into quality music young and by 16 was building car stereos and speaker enclosures for IASCA & USAC competitions. I also went to school a bit for electrical engineering. (Not long enough unfortunately) I’ve also worked at a recording studio as a tech and did a bit of roady work for a couple small electronic music artists. I recently revived my interest with my purchase of a used pair of Dynaudio Focus 260. My Schiit preamp, DAC and amp will be showing up in about a week. I’d like to think I’m not clueless and understand digital and analog signals and how they travel throughout the electrical pathways. I’m just having a difficult time understanding how a fuse with 60hz AC power running through it could change the sound of the music. I understand having a dedicated circuit breaker, large wire and a good outlet would help, and even starting to understand how a good power cord with well equipped ends would help. But.... a fuse? I’m trying to make sense of it. I understand it’s the one limiting factor in the AC power transfer from the cord to the internals. And...directional?! How could that possibly change the sound? I do listening tests with every small, single upgrade of any piece and I definitely have an excellent ear for sound. Any insight and/or recommendations would be helpful. My ears and mind are open....
Do used fuses get put up for sale often? I’d love to actually hear for myself the difference between crap and purposeful design.
