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. :)

1. Overpriced - B
2. Yes; SR, Isoclean, HiFiTuning, Furutech, AMR
3. Turning them around makes no discernible difference

Uh, oh! Looks like we have to add another one to the not happy column. 😥 There is no joy in Mudville today.

I use 5 Blue fuses from SR.  Never had bought high end fuses prior.  I have 2 in the Modwright 5400, 1 in the Whest 3.0 RDT SE, and 1 each in the Nuforce Ref 9 V3SE monos.  They do sound better in one direction when tried, and they do make a very nice difference in the sound.  Can't legitimately say if they are better than other high end fuses, however.  They are expensive.  The Star Sound trans mod is even more effective and much less expensive.  I've done that to 3 different components.
