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. :)

I've highly recommended Amy > Bob > Amy > Bob, however, Amy > CSNY  > Amy > CSNY is acceptable. 
That would make as much sense as Bob > Carol > Ted > Alice.
Just another way to keep on trollin' mama.

All the best,

It makes more sense than your current listening criteria to verify after-market fuse worthiness, which is nothing more than "I hear a difference".

What more requirements does a buyer and user of an aftermarket fuse NEED than that they can hear a difference?
Even if it is a small difference then $60 to $200 is a very small price for a worthwhile tweak.
It is up to the individual if they feel it was worthwhile.

It works for everyone here when it comes to speakers, amps, digital sources, turntables, cartridges, cables, power conditioners, etc.

Why not with fuses?

Why aren't you trolling all the other threads on the above mentioned gear and having at it?

Is it that trolls are single minded? 🤤

All the best,

Nothing, unless you're not looking to be as honest with yourself as you could otherwise be.

No apology necessary. Listening to music is more than many others have professed though. Good for you. Keep in mind I've offered you music, and I have yet to read/hear back from you.
