We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

Like, try a fuse for yourself and then you'll know? 😄

Rolex or Timex, as long as you are happy.....

NASA gets the high end fuse bug. Note similarity to audiophile high end fuses. 😁

“The high voltage power systems of satellites and spacecraft present unique fuse and fault protection challenges. High reliability fuses presently defined by MIL-PRF-23419 do not meet the increased voltage and amperage requirements for the next generation of spacecraft. Solid-body style fuses exhibit superior electrical and mechanical attributes that enable these fuses to perform reliably in the vacuum and high vibration and shock environments typically present in spacecraft applications. The construction and screening techniques for solid-body fuses described by MIL-PRF- 23419/12 offer an excellent roadmap for the development of high voltage solid-body fuses.

While FM08 style fuses are constructed with a wire filament that passes through a hollow cavity (see Figure 1), solid-body fuses (FM12 styles included) are designed and constructed in a manner that ensures that the overall fuse package is substantially devoid of air. Figure 2 provides a sectional view of a typical FM12 style fuse. The fusible element is comprised of thick film gold that is deposited on a thermally and electrically insulated substrate. A complete range of fusing values is achievable by precisely controlling the fusible element print thickness and geometry. Thick film silver termination pads are placed at each end of the thick film fusible element. The fusible element is completely covered with an arc suppressive glass. Leads are attached to the silver terminations by the use of high temperature solder. The final fuse package is insert molded with an engineering thermoplastic to complete the fuse.”

It might be interesting to see how many fuse Skeptics and Adopters own digital or analogue front ends. Could we add this to the survey? If you are a Skeptic, or Adopter, do you have a digital, analogue or both sources? 
(Yes, the info is available in some members' virtual systems, but that's a pita to mine the data)

I am a fuse Adopter, with digital front end. 

I am now a fuse adopter with both a digital and analog front end--both very high quality sound.  Was ignorant of the difference fuses made in the system, but was already a believer without trying based on the many positive responses from experienced audiophiles.  But mostly on a couple of my best audio friends who've tried them and found a significant difference for the better with certain aftermarket fuses.  I only hesitated because I wanted to hear about the possible amount of blown fuses after changing.  It doesn't appear to be a big problem, so I finally went for it when a big sale happened for SR fuses.
