Directional fuse and integrated IEC outlet

Al,

I for one have not experimented with fuse tweaking in any of my audio equipment. My concern with audio grade fuses is how accurate is the fuse to blow under an overload condition. I have not read any actual testing of such. Of course at 30 bucks a pop who wants to.... But compared to the price of the piece of audio equipment the fuse is supposed to protect, I would consider that a small price to pay.....
I also must say I do not know, or have I checked, if the fuses have been safety tested here in the US by a credited testing lab.

There is little doubt though the fuses do make a difference in sonics. Lots of testimonials to that fact.
Direction of the Fuse? I haven't a clue.

Suggestion...try it both ways and pick the one that you like. This will give you satisfaction, regardless of whether there is any effect or not.

Thats a very good suggestion for this crowd E,cheers,Bob
