Thank you, Kenny (Kdude66). I’ve enjoyed your posts in the Tekton Double Impact thread.
Chances are nothing much at all would be heard in most cases. Before as well as after the component’s power transformer burns out due to the resulting DC offset.

Geoffkait 5-26-2017On the other hand, though, an instructive experiment might be to install a diode having a suitable current rating in place of the mains fuse of a component. Connecting it such that it would allow current in the direction of the component, but would block current in the direction of the wall outlet.
Ignore the AV just like the AC when it’s traveling in the direction toward the wall outlet. You can’t hear what’s headed toward the wall outlet, only what’s headed toward the speakers. That’s why fuses are directional in both DC circuits and AC circuits. CASE CLOSED.
