Synergistic Research Orange Directional help


Here's the problem,
Well I am the proud owner of Orange Fuse.
I have read a lot about the different directions.

when I put the Fuse in from left to right
I have an enormous stage and resolution. The dynamics are terrifying and the bass goes very deep.


When I put the fuse in from right to left
everything sounds much more detailed, the bass is more powerful, the stage is more powerful and the resolution is a bit smaller, the highs are also more present.

Now which is the right direction? Does anyone of you have experience with this?

Don’t get caught up in this snake oil fuse voodoo, do some homework, and you find out that AC mains is "Alternating Current", and it changes it’s direction 60 x a second, so it’s impossible for an AC mains fuse to be directional!

All you need to know about fuses.

The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse

Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds.

So right to left is "much more detailed" the bass is "more powerful" the stage is "more powerful" and the highs "are also more present."

Sounds to me like you think it sounds better right to left.

So what's the question again???
This sounds like the fuse has probed the nether regions of the AC flow aperture and caused an opposite current flow, it'll take twice as long to burn-in if at all now, maybe the OP would be better off sending it back and getting a new one.
