I am actually frustrated reading these posts. Please do not insult others because they think different. You may believe that fuses make absolutely no difference. You are welcome to write that opinion, but dropping down to calling people names because they think a certain way is just negative and it makes me feel bad and others feel bad. Telling people they are wrong to think a certain way in an area that is so subjective to personal taste and opinion just creates an environment that discourages people from exploring and participating in this hobby.
It is always relative. There are people who believe that Bose speakers are just as good as $$$$ Wilsons or Focal, etc. However, there are many people who can definitely tell the difference. Both are able to reproduce the same frequencies (in the general range).
I'm sure many people can tell differences between speaker cable or even power cords. The fuse is just another element in the power cord line. This is where metallurgy does come into play. Different fuses are made from different materials and can affect the voltage signature in different ways, even if we may not be able to measure this using precision equipment. I personally can hear the effect of just putting in a silver-plated fuse holder (which technically has less influence that an actual fuse). This was another attribute that tells me that silver is not right for my own preferences. Other people may give the opinion that a fuse or a silver-plated fuse holder will make no difference and they may not hear any difference. That is perfectly fine.
Let's keep it real and positive.
