Modjeski actually did find the Tuning Fuse he tested measured differently than the Little Fuse brand he routinely uses. The difference was on the order of 120dB down ;-) . If your system can reveal that, and your ears can hear it, congratulations, you do indeed have a mighty fine system and golden ears.
Yeah, I know not everything that can he heard can be measured. But for a fuse to effect the tonality of a system? C'mon, man, you know that's not possible. A fuse doesn't know about tone, any more than an acoustical instrument knows about electricity.
As for fuse directionality in an AC application, that defies what used to be called common sense. Yeah I know, what about all the people who insist to hear a difference when the fuse is reversed? I have no idea (mechanical issues perhaps), but people also claim to hear God talking to them. Do you?
I must say I am a little surprised to read this Eric, I had thought you were more open minded than that?
A few years ago I could have penned that until a member here( who does not list any longer unfortunately) sent me a SR Black fuse he had replaced with a Blue fuse in his dac.
I had the exact same dac.
First try I was not impressed, it really was no better and if anything worse.
Try it the other way he said.
After I got up off the floor from laughing I though oh well why not!
Say what?!?!
Who swapped my dac for a much more expensive model!
I have been open minded and receptive of tweaks ever since.
And yes George and Wolf you can run your normal belittling routines.
It's not going to have any effect on those who hear a difference.
