Yes, Littlefuse has always made ceramic fuses but up to this point their offerings have cost a dollar or so at the most. The economy of scale that they potentially have in manufacturing does make one curious as to how these compare to standard issue fuses and the $50-$200 varieties. Fuses are simple things. Other than the wire elements, the material that caps are made from, and any possible filler, there's not much that can differ between brands. If no one chimes in with actual user experience, I'll have to spring for some myself to test in my PSA BHK preamp and amp.
Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse?
While perusing the fuse offerings at Mouser Electronics I noticed these audio/medical fuses priced at around $9.00 US. As someone who has been reluctant to spend the price for the highest priced audiophile fuses, these more reasonably priced offerings caught my eye. Just curious if anyone has had occasion to try them and form an opinion. I must say the attention to quality control, ratings specifications, and published testing results make these look more appealing to me than the rather vague specs of many "audiophile" fuses.
