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. :)

No George, that was not the point.
Yes, the rectifier (tubes or diodes or what have you) take the AC current and passes it on as DC, blah, blah, blah, but it can only process what it's given, and a better fuse imparts a cleaner sound impacting characteristic of it's own to the rectifier. 
That was the point.

All the best,

Really you should listen to yourself, then scrunch it up and throw it in the bin, honestly.

@kosst_amojan,

No, it didn't go WAY over my head (though it does) but the fact remains, fuses sound better one way compared to the other. Plenty here hear the difference as I did with three different brands. 

All the best,

I would ask you for a better explanation but you’d come back with delusions, expectation bias, etc., and all the tired tripe you have so far.
By the way, thanks for not linking your juvenile slideshow.👍

All the best,
Nonoise
