normal fuses and ridiculousness

Posted by Story on January 15, 2023 at 14:26:07:
a Buss, Fusetron, or Littlefuse has an element inside it one half inches long ...that's for what used to be the standard size. I have cracked open a few over many years to see what the construction is and there is nothing in there to indicate that that small piece of wire soldered into both inside ends of the caps has anything to do with making a better sound if reversed. Only the addition of ingesting alcohol or drugs does that, or listening in the early morning and then listening in the evening after tweaking something like a 'normal fuse'. Just pulling a fuse out, cleaning the ends, and applying some Silclear or Deoxit will make a small difference.

And what about the specialty boutique types? Maybe, but I feel sorry for those who live for stuff like this instead of focusing on the god dam music.
