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. :)

kosst,
I hear you. I can't afford to buy any of the more expensive fuses either, but then, I can't convert any amp to full dual mono either. Seems like $30 was the right amount to spend for me.

All the best,
Nonoise

Imo it is irrelevant to reference DIY or Mods as an argument that aftermarket fuses are without merit. The question was not fuses in comparison to DIY and Mods, but in comparison to stock fuses. Obviously, modded gear would benefit similarly from aftermarket fuses. 

I guess the premium designers and manufacturers don't know what they are doing when they use subjective listening as their final step in tuning a design. Some of the assertions here are ludicrous and show profound ignorance of the industry activity.  :(
