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. :)

Speaking for myself once I see, “I’ve been in this hobby for 40+ years....” I’m pretty much done. You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. You don’t have to be clairvoyant to knows what’s coming next.

So what reaction does " I have been in the hobby for 50+ years" elicit then?

Kosst, I will explain that your description of aftermarket fuses is misapplied, as your other descriptions of the effects of aftermarket fuses wherein you discount them. You conclude that they can do nothing exceptional, so obviously you think aftermarket fuses are superfluous. 

Well, you're wrong. Aftermarket fuses are not sucker bait, but a purposeful change to effectively alter the sound. A fine HiFi component should readily reveal any such changes. Any component which would mask such things is junk. If you made an amp that was insensitive to aftermarket fuses I would consider it a horrid design.
