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. :)

What do you tell somebody who's system does not allow for them to hear a difference?  That in your system you definitively do?  Unless you invite them over to witness to this phenomena to hear it in your system? They will keep saying fuses do nothing because something in their system is veiling the benefits.  But, of course, if the spent big bucks?  It would have to mean everything is set up optimally by default of the expense.  This debate gets tiring after a while. If someone can not hear the benefits on their system? That means it can not be heard on mine.  That I have no right to hear what I do.... Like I said.  It gets tiring after a while.
 Fuses more so then some they work.  If you can get them on sale they work a little better
  Snake oil ?   Reminds me of a group of people  that get cornered with facts 
So they Yell out   Racist
A sepatate fuse forum is a great idea, ecsecially for those of us who believe that electricity is directional. (AC goes back and forth atv60 cps; dc, at thecfrequencies of the signal.). Maybe we could combine it with the forum on the benefits of filling our little speaker wire supports with dampning fluid with unicorn poop.  TeeHee.  In all seriousness,  has anyone ever tested these designer fuses to see if what they really offer is simply the ability to pass more current, i.e. as not protecting your electronics with properly rated fuses?
This debate gets tiring after a while.

Try hearing a sonic benefit in a blind test. That'll end the debate.

Have you ever conducted such a test? If so, please share the details of the test. If not, how do you know it will "end the debate?"
