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. :)

The fact that the current travels both ways doesn't negate that something in that current (say, a fuse) doesn't sound better one way over the other. If the fuse is directional (and I've heard it with three different brands), then it would sound better one way over the other. Granted, it wouldn't protect any better and no one is saying that, but it would sound better. You're conflating two different aspects. Or maybe, ignoring one.

What's also a stretch is that one is advising removal of fuses when no one advocated it, except I believe, in a speaker. 

All the best,

Why not connecting two fuses in parallel and see how that directional go?
