Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?

Hi Everybody, I am new to this Forum. Please clarify that,

Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a fuse holder to show

the direction to fix a fuse? Will all type of fuses have

'Arrow' mark? I need the advices to upgrade the fuses.

In one of a forum, I read the following 'Message'as follows:-

"The fuse has to be parallel to the overall direction of the sine waves coming from the wall socket and into you audio gear. If they enter at an unusually steep angle, the top (or bottom) peaks and throughs will get clipped off or attenuated and you will get jagged or almost square waves in you signal. The resulting SQ will be harsh and grating to the ears. Prolonged usage may damage the speaker coils as well."

So, friends,please give me a clear picture to replace a

'fuse' in my Preamp and DAC. Thank you.

Regards,

Rhapsodi.

Sebrof, could be that resistors don't matter that much. It also could be that some companies check wire pull direction and resistor direction before assembly. Resistors would be easy to do consistently given their markings.

I don't know how some stick with the limited understanding of EE so close-mindly. I still remember in EE classes that engineering faculty want to "stick with the formulas regardless.

It's fine to be open-minded, but not so open-minded your brains end up sloshing out onto the floor. And that's the sort of open-mindedness fuse directionality demands.

TGB, this presumes the resistors were line up properly prior to the paint application?

Or that the cores were lined up properly before the end caps were attached. :)

No, Simply_q, yours is the close-mindedness I am talking about. Just try it, if you hear nothing, I will apologize and add this to my list of things like music absolute phase that some just don't hear.

Timrhu, I expect that the painting is done while they are still connected one to another, but there is of course the possibility that all are wrong, just consistent.
