Is this because of a few rotten apples/trolls that derail the discussions that those threads are closed? If this is the case, that’s very sad. Anyone here care to explain?
"If this is the case" No, it’s more the "few rotten shills" that get them closed, just look at the usual ones that shill for these SR fuses (one has answered here) and you’ll see it’s just a well orchestrated advertisement for snake oil fuses. (especially SR ones).
Do a search on just Orange Fuse (let alone the other colors) have a look at the end and see how many threads get shut down it’s quite a few now, it’s a eye opener, all because of a handful that shill for SR.
Audiogon are not stupid they know when the site is being "used" for commercial product gains by so called "members", one of the main ones even admits he works as a tester for their fuses.
And BTW
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.
