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!

I think due to rapid progressive improvements of fuses these years 
When the SR Orange fuses were completely broken in, they were way better than the SR Blue fuses they replaced.

Are you guys listening to yourselves, really!! you must be all related to geoffkiat in some demonic way. Oh yes you haven't mentioned turning them around the other way. YET!

Do you reach 100 hrs for Oranges?
Does it take less time of break-in than blues?
It seems Blues take 200 hrs or more for fully break-in 

@theyname
Yeah..its all about bus(slow-blow) VS car(fast-blow) it depends on your components😉

You mention the BS $160 Orange fuse 4 times in the last post.

Now say your not shilling
(even though they say you have stated on Audiogon that your a Synergistic Research beta tester)


The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse

Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds.
