Fuses fuses fuses

Ok, this is about fuses

1- a standard Bussman fuse is UL approved. Are any "high end" fuses UL approved?

2- do any component manufacturers supply their gear with any of the usual suspects of high end fuses as opposed to a standard Bussman?

3- let's say fuses do make a difference. Given incoming power is AC, why could fuses be directional? 

Not meaning to light any fires here- 

thanks in advance

Hey, you just reminded me! When can we expect to see some liquid fuses hit the market?

Also, question: are liquid cables directional? I’m of course referring to the conductor not the shield. I wouldn't think so but sometimes ya never know.

I made a nice post... then realized it contained too much information.

Whoops.

The liquid is not inherently directional. Yet our cables are marked as so... and do illustrate a quite prominent directionality in listening.

Call it a quandary, if you will. A puzzle for the intrepid.

Teo,

Excellent info and analysis. I just wish the naysayers just accept the fact that there is a difference. Who really cares the reason? I tried different fuses and configurations and picked the best that worked for me. Just sit back and enjoy the music stop the analysis paralysis!
