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!

Frank please don’t use the words science or scientific as some people might get very upset. School, as a kid, my mother would say, “You should enjoy it. One day you’ll have to work for a living.” No, I won’t, ma. I’m going to me a comedian. 🤡

roberttcan,
Do you work for Thermotron? That is a great company & one I'm very familiar with (I live in the area). We had one of their chambers in our R&D facility for years. It served us well.

Speaking of thermal chambers, a friend of mine who worked at Wright Patt AFB in Dayton, Ohio volunteered to see how long he could make it in a thermal chamber at 400 deg. F. He was in street clothes in the chamber for 25 minutes, no big deal. I worked at W-P in a pink building with no windows.

...but it did have padded walls.

"Don’t care how ... I only know that it does. How’s that for a scientific analysis?"
Be careful, someone could say that the answer would be in psychoanalysis.
