Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse?

Word on the street is that Littelfuse
will send out free samples to those interested. The lot codes for sample orders come in increments of 100 and 1000. But the rumor on the street is that they will send out singles based upon whatever one inputs into the quantity window (that is, don’t expect to receive 500 or 5,000 fuses if one inputs "5" into the quantity window for the corresponding product lot code).

The 285 ceramic tube, slo-blow series identified in their product catalog as 0285001.HXP corresponds to gold-capped fuses having a 1A rating and a description: FUSE CERAMIC 1A 250VAC 5X20MM.

The 285 ceramic tube, slo-blow series in their product catalog as 0285001.HXRP corresponds to rhodium-capped fuses having a 1A rating and a description: FUSE CERAMIC 1A 250VAC 5X20MM.

Please post here those who opt to order some fuse samples for testing and let those here who care know of your results.

Wow! Free samples for a dollar fuse. Gosh, that’s mighty decent of them. By the way the name is Littelfuse.

Lol. Free is free. Whether it’s the fuse or the editorial corrections from the cheap seats. 

The advantage of LittleFuse is that their fuses are real, tested, certified by real testing labs. Audiophile fuses are generally not tested by anyone and would likely fail those tests. I read a test report on the ones from Germany. The report was a joke, meaningless, proved nothing.

PADIS fuses are UL, PSE and SEMKO approved, and are German made. I think you need to broaden your knowledge of what's out there. 

Basing your rant on aftermarket fuses on one brand that you heard about doesn't make you an expert on them. I've tried 3 different brands and they all have their own sonic signature and I've yet to build an amp and lord over people with what I know about them. 

You can come across as very condescending.

Isoclean fuses from Japan, from the first audiophile fuse maker, are UL listed. So are Furutech audiophile fuses from Japan.

It should be mentioned HiFi Tuning Fuses have a type quantum treatment in addition to gold infused high purity silver elements. I’m pretty sure Littelfuses do not, but then they’re only a dollar or free, or whatever.
