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,

Simply, let me see what does observation mean? Watching, listening, measuring, ie. using ones senses. What does scientific mean? Being as objective, seeking scientifically transmissible data, measuring with valid instrumentation, ie. being as open to what one is focusing on as possible.

Great.

So now where does the "scientific" part factor in here with regard to directional fuses and your claim of "scientific observation"?

If all you're doing is listening, then by definition you're not being objective. Listening on its own is a decidedly subjective matter.

I repeat my earlier statement. You are close-minded and apparently fearful that you will hear something, although the nocebo complex, hearing nothing because you believe you won't may affect you.

Not at all.

You're not getting it.

Even if I tried it and did perceive a difference (please note I did not say "hear"), it would prove nothing one way or the other.

Why?

Because I'm a human being. And like all other human beings, I'm just as susceptible to perceiving differences even when none exist in any actual physical sense.

And until that ambiguity can be adequately controlled for (and it can't be controlled for by way of vanity and ego), my trying it for myself is pointless.
Your semantic gymnastics are what's irrelevant. Like so many; you block out any truth that does not conform to YOUR definition, or understanding of an issue. Further: It's obvious you are VERY CHALLENGED in the comprehension department, or simply not reading the articles, the last three of which ALL mention polarity, as it relates to phase(but then- no one knows anything but you)! Help yourself to the last word(I'm certain you can't help yourself). It seems we've entered into a battle of wits, with an unarmed man(a total waste of time).
I'm glad to see we are all getting along here. To begin with, the topic is a joke. Is there really anyone here that believes the direction of the fuse is going make their system more musically satisfying?

Read Almarg's post. It makes more sense than anything else writting here.
Simply_q, I taught the scientific method for 47 years and did much scientific research. You use such stupid notions that I am inclined to just drop the discussion. You seem to think that scientific observation avoids the human senses. My point is entirely that you will do no observation. I am fine with your mindlessly avoiding a possible improvement in your sound reproduction. That is fine with me, but your suggesting that anyone trying changing fuse direction is an idiot and unscientific or "physical" as you say. You, sir, are the unscientific one. But alas, I am bored with you and your mindless ilk.

Rhapsodi asked and I have given my best experiences. The end.

It would seem so, yes.
