@lalitk You're welcome. 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
The fact that the current travels both ways doesn't negate that something in that current (say, a fuse) doesn't sound better one way over the other. If the fuse is directional (and I've heard it with three different brands), then it would sound be...

It could be due to the mix of fuse brands that led to niskymichael's results. I've found that different fuses have different sonic effects.HiFi Tuning fuses tend to accentuate the leading edge of notes at the expense of everything else whilst PADI...

Atohm GT1 SE vs KEF LS50
I heard the smaller Atohm monitors a couple of years ago and fell quite hard for them. It was the price that kept me from buying them. I know this is not a fair comparison but after hearing the KEF Ls50 monitors some years later, I'd still take th...

I still find,"so small as to be insignificant"to be the salient point of the entire statement...when taken out of context. It's just like removing the fuse from the equation to make a point have more significance than it does. Again, some amps des... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
The actual quote, in it's entirety is:Everyone agrees that no fuse sounds the best, so just what is it that degrades the sound? Bueller? Bueller? The question that should be addressed is just how much of a change a fuse introduces, not that it's s...

What Do You Think About This Comment?
I think you're right, Doug. With speakers having the most distortion of any piece of gear in the system, getting it down to the the least amount of distortion amounts to task, if not a trek, to achieving the best sound potential. All the best,Nonoise 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
I've heard the very same differences, all the time, up until now. I think it's that my system is finally dialed into where I like it all the time. The only caveat is that there is a touch more fullness (for lack of a better word) at prime listenin... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
Let's also not forget that a fuse is not "just a wire" anymore than a speaker cable (unless it's supported in an oversized sleeve with no terminations) or interconnect is "just a wire". If we can get over that grossly oversimplified premise, then ... 
Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive
Neat article. I see why my 14 gauge speaker cables sound better than my older 16 gauge cables from the same maker. I wish I could afford the 12 gauge version.All the best,Nonoise

@trelja Thank you for that reasoned and intelligent observation.

Whats on your turntable tonight?
I just realized this is the forum for turntables and not CDs. Still great music.
