I have just bought Acme fuse(s) for my new amplifier (GamuT D 200) and have a question about fuse direction. The fuse now have 100+ hours on it, so I think it has (almost) burned in. Now the question is, should the fuse direction be determined before burning in period or after? My thinking is, that the fuse has only been burned in in one direction (I bought a spare fuse, so I have both options :-)) mojul |

Fuses are not directional. And even if they were, it wouldn't make any difference in AC circuits. Dave. |

As Lummy says, this isn't a case of absolutes but you don't know until you try. Joe |

Except for the fact it is an absolute. Fuses are non-directional. Listening evaluations are irrelevant. Dave. |

I think if that's the reason you're not trying boutique fuses you're missing the whole point. Dave. |

Aftermarket fuses aren't for you. How about we leave it at that? Joe |
RE: +1 If a fuse was really 'directional' it would heat up and fail in an AC circuit :) nt, posted on January 20, 2023 at 13:20:17 | |

What sounds better? Mounting the fuse holder vertically or horizontally? |
