We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

Interesting post about aftermarket fuses this week from a designer-manufacturer of well-regarded DACs, amplifiers, and other electronics,

"Depending the type of product we use transformers in a range between 15 and 30 VA. It means that the primary windings are as thin as monkey hair and will have a length of approx. 100 meters. The resistance of this primary copper winding is about 60-90 Ohms so what will be the effect of one centimeter of fuse wire compared to the primary copper wire."

I suspect this viewpoint may be considered too simplistic and unenlightened by those savvy folks who believe in the mystical effects of that "one centimeter of fuse wire."  OTOH, aftermarket fuse manufacturers are probably already thinking about the potential profit on fuses made from beeswax, monkey hair, unobtainiam end caps, and (pick your color) paint.

Everyone's entitled to speculation. It doesn't mean they're right. I have helped a few well known manufacturers in regard to their speculation. After listening, they "revised" their speculation.  :) 

I don't see unanimity on fuses among manufacturers. 

You pick your authority, you get your results. 

That is true, but the ones I've seen that say there's a difference, actually heard the difference, whereas the ones that say there are no differences, say it without benefit of hearing it for themselves. 

It seems that false equivalency can be had in all manner of fields. 

All the best,

....but the ones I've seen that say there's a difference, actually heard the difference, whereas the ones that say there are no differences, say it without benefit of hearing it for themselves...

Of course though there are also ones that say there's a difference, yet are unable to reliably make the same statement once subjected to any kind of objective test. So there "saying" isn't really long lived.

What's it like to go through life doubting everything unless it's objectively tested? My neck would sure be sore looking over my shoulder all the time.
