Aftermarket Fuses

Mitch sez:

• Right out of the playbook. You might want to consider not questioning what others do or don't hear. 
  

Are you kidding, Mitch? You've been posting in these threads long enough. I'm assuming that you've read all of the responses, right? How many naysayers have told us what we can't hear, or that what we are hearing is nothing more than expectation bias? Hell man, they even tell us that when they haven't used the item at issue for themselves.

If you "claim" to hear things (nobody actually knows what anybody else hears) that others don't, you should be able to handle the criticism especially if you use extreme hyperbole in those claims. The difference between an SR fuse and, for example, a Littelfuse IS dramatic...one works perfectly as designed, from a company with a stellar reputation for safety and consistency and costs 2 bucks or so, and the other costs 100 to 150 bucks for reasons nobody can explain...except sales profit. Now that "sounds" different for sure! Also, I was talking about imagined valve stem covers that would be a joke if 10 times as expensive as standard, not racing stripes which have obvious performance benefits...everybody knows that...

At last we agree
But you REALLY do need to try those new valve stem covers with graphene!

But let me try to be serious for a moment, which is very difficult in light of some of the comments here ( yes I am guilty as well) but nevertheless.

Nobody here is exhorting anybody to rush out and buy boutique fuses, unless I missed a post.
Nobody forced me to try one, nobody forced me to keep them.
I read, I dismissed some of the over the top claims but thought I would give them a try.
I am a grown adult( sometimes) and more than capable of making my own,mind up on whether to spend $150 or not!
I perceived an improvement, I was happy, this I reported, nothing more.
I would NEVER tell anybody here that they HAVE to try them.
I assume others are adult enough to likewise make their own minds up on how they spend their money.
