Best fuses for under $50?

I have no qualms with the images of the fuse that George posted. I suppose they are of the same one as it ages. That is the type of fuse I avoid using: a bog standard one, made to a price point. 

Again, 😩, a better made fuse can be had if you're willing to pony up for it and it doesn't need to break the bank. 

All the best,

 That is the type of fuse I avoid using:

All correctly implemented fuses are close to their blow point in normal operation, as if anything out of the ordinary should draw more current that's not normal it should blow to protect and keep the circuitry/pcb's from being fried to an absolute minimum.

The fuse I linked to, shows what many switch on surges can do to ANY properly implemented fuse. As current draw at "switch on" is when an ac mains fuse is taxed the most, and when weakened ones, that have seen many switch on surges can blow, even though there's nothing wrong elsewhere.

Whoa! What? Looks like I t’s still the same tired Strawman argument, that "properly implemented" or properly working fuses are all that’s needed. I mean unless you’ve completely given up and no longer wish to chase the dragon and pursue the whole sound quality thing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that the purity of the metals of the end caps and fuse wire as well as attention vibration and RFI, cryogenics, affect fuse performance. Just like cables. I don’t even have to utter that forbidden word, you know, the one that sets naysayers’ hair ablaze. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Go and commit yourself Geoff, you need the rest. All you do on these forums is create arguments for argument sake.
You have no technical merit, and one day will be laughed off, like you have been on other "Tech Forums" which don't seem have "voodoo'ist followers" as there seems to be here.

Cheers George    

My fuse out of my 30 year old Sump Polaris amplifier looks brand new. I don't remember seeing a fuse's metal element look distorted. Maybe i need a microscope.  Naw, now that would be a bit goofey.
