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!

Fuses.... it works like this:

I hear chatter about fuses. I check my equipment, and find out I need eight fuses. Too much money. More than for my entire vintage system. So I get pissed, upset. Then I go online in revenge to all audiophile groups I can find denouncing fuses as snake oil

Blue fuses soak up all the errant Blu Ray radiation.  This collection of rays ionizes the discrete electrons (Think about that!) forming analog signals, which allows the fuse to turn the alternating current into a collection of waves rather than electrons.  After receiving the Nobel prize for his work on the photoelectric effect, Einstein posted  a YouTube video about it.
