RE: Voltage drop

Posted by Davey on January 16, 2023 at 06:43:40:
Ralph is generally pretty good with his comments, but that one was nonsensical.
Of course there is a minute drop in voltage across a fuse. But that voltage drop will not increase (or decrease) if the fuse is switched in orientation.....all other things being equal. You could measure voltage across a fuse, switch its direction and measure again. Do that 100 times and compare the results and there'd be no consistency at all regards direction.
This requires no subjective evaluation, no voltage measurements, no anything. It's implicitly obvious based on the conditions the fuse is operating in.
What we have here is schlock marketeers creating a belief in the audiophile brain and then selling a product to that belief. :)
