We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses


LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

I knew you wouldn’t and/or couldn’t have any kind of meaningful answer to my question.

To demonstrate my honesty and promise to you, I shall offer no further rebuttal.

I’ll simply step aside once again, so you can continue to get the help you have requested.
I am fascinated by the directionality arguments concerning fuses.  Did proponents of this idea forget that our electronics are powered by alternating current? That means it goes back and forth, not just forward. Besides, the transformer has no directly wired connection between  the fuse and and the transformer's output. It simply takes a magnetic force created by the wired AC side, and has a second side of windings that pick up this force to create a multiple of the original line voltage. Then, on most modern amps, a computer chip determines when to take this voltage to keep the caps filled. Unless a fuse is causing oscillation due to a defect, and also is feeding an amp with lackluster design, it does not affect anything except our wish to justify the money we spent, aka The Placebo Effect.
Thank you @danvignau for providing the help @geoffkait has requested.

This has been explained by fuse advocates many times in this thread and others. Of course, you're free to reject the reasoning. But to pretend that it hasn't been provided is disingenuous.
@cleeds 

I'd be appreciative if you could/would answer the following questions.

How does fuse and/or wire directionality change your "enjoyment" of listening to music?

Please speculate, in what way should someone else, such as myself, expect to benefit if fuses and/or wire is oriented correctly?

Thank you.
