Upgrading Fuses


Have a Audio Research Ref 3 and am considering upgrading the fuses but I am a little skeptical. Would like to hear from people who have try this. Hard to believe that fuses can make a substantial difference like the manufacturers claim. All advice appreciated.

The fuse will make no difference to the audio; however, it will make a difference to your billfold.

A fuse is a safety device that lies in series in a circuit between an electrical source and its associated load(s). When the current, or flow of electricity, exceeds its designed threshold, the fuse opens.

How can one 2 amp fuse differ from another, assuming they are both designed for your circuit?
How can a power cord make a difference?
It does.
How can interconnects make a difference?
They do.
I don't mean to be snide but this have been discussed to death already. Some of us hear big differences that we can't put into words, but they are there. Maybe its just a matter of being better built: that justification seems to apply to all things audio. Or it could be that there is something else at play here. I've replaced fuses on circuit boards that gave bigger results than the one I replaced on the slide out on the IEC jack but there were still improvements.
I simply can't explain why I hear a difference but I do.
Have you ever noticed how the "this can't work" crowd never talk about actually trying the products they denigrate? It really is unbelievably boring and pointless. It's like hanging out at a car collector convention just to nag everybody about how "one car is just as good as another, quit wasting your money." It's sad. YAWN.
"never talk about actually trying the products they denigrate? "

If we did I think they'd revoke our engineering degrees:).

Happy listening.
Have you ever noticed how the "this______absolutely makes a difference!" or "this________makes a huge difference" crowd never provides substantiated, or independant 3rd party verification, or scientific before-and-after data for any of their improvement gains?

"It really is unbelievably boring and pointless" is my sentiments exactly! It's no different than anyone claiming they can read minds, predict the future, move objects telepathically, etc, etc... If you claim you can hear the difference with fuses, or that a specific fuse direction is audible, back it up with data! It's ahould be an easy thing to measure for those with conventional lab equipment, yet neither of the exotic fuse companies provide a single explanation to the best of my knowledge, nor data to back up their claims. Show me a non-audio related scientific, engineering or accredited university research process that would accept known-unreliable sensory perception to out weigh extensive reserch and measurements. As Jeff stated, they'd pull their degrees and be subjected to endless industry ridicule.
