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. :)

jetter, apology accepted.

Can we have more contribution from persons who have/are trying aftermarket fuses? Or, additional contribution from those who are trying them ongoing?

Doug, when are you going to weigh in on this weighty subject? You promised you would. 😀 so far all I see is a lot of moderation and facilitation.

I had not disdained fuses; I've had too many experiences where products in the signal or power path have proven to have an effect, if not entirely efficacious, i.e. worth the money. I simply have too much going to think about them. 

I finally found the motivation to try. My answers: Fuses are, all told, a gift to the audiophile community, and I plan on trying some more of them. I doubt that my conclusion will change due to continued usage, but if so I can revise my conclusion.
