Using the fancy fuse the wrong way round sounds worse than using a normal fuse?

I never would have guessed AC current was directional!
Well i would imagine covering the speakers with a quilt to be much worse than listening with earmuffs, what I heard was a much flatter sound less top end sparkle , less definition in the bass (i tend to notice differences in the extremes more readily but I think it was right across the range. Smaller soundstage and generally less interesting less musicality.

How can a waveform which is AC, ie. the current travels each way alternately, be better acived by a fuse being one way or the other?
This is like speaker cables supposedly having directionality, when, although asymmetrical, the current waveform is also alternate.
(Kimber with arrows on).
There are arguments that cables can be directional, due to the crystal structure of the metal, and will sound different depending on which way round they are hooked up. You'll have to try this yourself to see if you hear a difference. I know what I think!
With interconnects, a braided cable like Kimber, or a shielded Speaker cable, the shield has been left unconnected on one end to help with noise reduction.
The grounded end is usually recommended to be connected at the source.
The arrows usually depict the direction away from the shielded end, like my cables do!
Why do we all have different amplifiers??..why is one capacitor better than another...why is one tweeter better than another, why is one voice coil better than another... why does silver, gold, aluminium, copper and rhodium sound different when electricity is passed through it..ie..why do silver interconnects sound brighter than copper interconnects...why do cable manufacturers invest millions in the construction of cables..infact why does a hifi manufacturer invest so much money in hifi at all....I'll bet your interconnects are not the cheapest thing you could by...why do you use expensive interconnects, they are only transfering a signal...it's ony a piece of wire...why do these heavy top quality speaker cables sound better than bell wire...it's only wire transfering a signal to the speakers....truth be known..nobody does, but they all make a difference....everybody's hearing is different...try a fuse and then, make a comment...if you can't hear the difference, you can't here it..if you can..well... the sky's your limit...
