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. :)

Obviously, modded gear would benefit similarly from aftermarket fuses.

WHY????? Explain this please, enlighten us.

Kosst.
What you say about value of engineering makes a lot of sense tbh. And I can see a solid thought process in there.

Now though, and not wishing to be antagonistic here,but just HOW have all the aftermarket fuse manufacturer achieved the sales they have worldwide?
I mean it can’t be mass hypnosis or just thousands of gullible buyers, not even the most ardent naysayer can truly believe or propose that.

Indeed. It would be like keeping bald tires on your car after souping up the engine.

Mercedes have been winning F1 championships with Lewis Hamilton and after market fuses. Lewis only pits for fuel, tires or after market specialty fuses. They have Bayesian computer algorithms to determine which fuses to use and when. Some fuses work well in the wet and some are better at higher altitude and some will lower the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle, others are excellent for braking. Fuses are so important  they call it F1.
