To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!


Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

No fuse is always better one less bottle neck ,but doing so 
you take away fault protection from possibly saving a circuit.
just buy a premium fuse  slightly bigger ,for a stock fuse can vary
up to 15%. 
OK, I am totally confused. You guys saying you use these fuses in AC circuits?

From their web site:
A: Yes, fuses are directional.  Electricity should flow from the left to the right when you view the fuse.  If you do not know the direction of flow you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions.  One direction will sound more detailed.  This is the correct way.

I thought AC changed directions 60 times a second?

   WOW. This subject has been tossed around these forums and, every once in a while, it resurfaces. So many opinions about fuses, wire, and everything else.
   My neighbor builds a deck exactly like mine. But, he stains it differently. Same deck. He likes his and I like mine. Nobody can convince you that what he does is better than what you have done as long as you've convinced yourself you have done better.
   So many "scientists" on these forums. Take note of the response just before mine! If I pleaded with my wife to agree to the expense of an audio upgrade, whether beneficial or not, she would agree that it was a good choice to make me happy with my decision.
  There's no end to this discussion.

You are correct, everything else you posted up is pure BS, show us a link to where you seen this c**p.
