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. :)

That’s all we need another disguised "snake oil" thread that was shut down like this one was 5mins ago, just to get fuse talk going for the gullible to question it and purchase >$100 fuses.
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/simple-snake-oil-detection

Like they say any talk, bad or good (even voodoo) in the right ratios is good for sales in the end. You only need 50% of the gullible to believe the "good" and you’ve generated sales, with a product that could have 500% or more markup.

Cheers George

So, after a plea from the OP to keep it civil and on topic, someone just has to question the motives of the OP, ignore the topic of the OP, and insult the participants, and it’s others who bother to humorously retort that get deleted.

That's rich.

All the best,

It's always interesting to see what people think motivates others. There is a fascinating dynamic at work in that; a person chooses their mentor, whom they will or won't trust - and that has enormous sway over the outcome of their rig, and their happiness as an audiophile. Worldview and unspoken priorities/principles dictate whom you do or do not trust. That, in turn dictates the selection of components and methods, what the HiFi looks like in front of you. Finally, that determines much of whether you will enjoy the music. So much of this hobby hinges on trust and disbelief. Especially with analogue. LOL    :)
