RE: Fuse direction?

Posted by Ugly on January 16, 2023 at 14:11:04:
OK. I see. Good points.
I'm skeptical the evidence from such experiments would support altering the original design in most cases but....
If the voltage drop, presumably caused by the fuse current modulating the element impedance, in audio equipment protection fuses, is noticably finding it's way into the audio signal in some pieces of gear.....and users truly have taken modifying some aspect of the safety design to overcome the damage it does to the products performance, maybe it would be best for everybody if that piece of gear would get removed from the market before someone gets hurt.
Edit: BTW definitely not holding my breath waiting for that piece of gear to surface as it would immediately be laughed off the market and out of existence and I am under the assumption that unqualified individuals, prone to monkeying with their safety circuits, being a bit stunned seems more likely.
