RE: You don't understand the problem

What's perhaps more difficult to understand is how a fuse that's located back in the amplifier somewhere can affect the sound since the electrons that are moving in the fuse are not the same ones moving at the voice coil. The electrons in the fuse, way upstream, never get out of the fuse wire. They move too slow and change direction too rapidly. They are "trapped" there.

But I'm not trying to solve all the mysteries or conflicts involved with directionality. The best way to proceed I suggest is try reversing a fuse yourself, or speaker cables, and see if you hear a difference. Which is in fact what most audiophile fuse manufacturers suggest anyway. Most if not cable manufacturers like AudioQuest who control their cables for directionality mark their cables with arrows pointing in the direction of the speakers. Not to be confused with cables that use arrows to account for shield direction. As I said, most skeptics would rather fight than switch. What are they afraid of? Wire and fuse directionality is repeatable, transferrable, predictable. Where's the beef?
