The guru on fuses:

This is the second time I have mentioned fuses as a potential topic.  Thanks everyone for confirming my faith in the suggestibility of the human mind.  BTW, The Skeptic has a video about the evolutionary advantages of fooling ourselves.  Catch it if you can.  Also, their article, "Audiophoolery" is a classic.  Google it.  You don't have to agree with all of it, but if it truly offends you, please seek help. 

I no longer use fuses. The devices I use by nature are directional so I place them by signal flow in the circuit. Much better image stabilty much quieter, more apparent output at the same gain setting, greater transparency at any volume. Sounds real. Tom
 

theaudiotweak Please explain what you mean by "devices"  (Electronics?), and "...place them by signal flow".  Next to the signal flow?  

You don’t have to agree with all of it, but if it truly offends you, please seek help.

Sorry to disappoint, but anyone that keeps posting about fuses and their sound quality advantages and directionality differences, is the one that really "Needs Help", and you can take that as written in stone.

The day you hear from the "great audio designers" saying they install these $150+ snake oil fuses into their equipment as standard production because they "sound better" is the day you give up audio!

BTW, the John Curl interview you posted in your first post, if you comprehend it, only compares fuses as a "protection device" to save his amps from going up, nothing at all about comparing the ’sound quality" of them, I would stop insinuating John Curl is backing up your own beliefs.

Cheers George

No conclusion? if you need votes, I am +1 on fuses making a sonic difference also. We know that protection is required and Mr. Curl also honestly stated that measurements cannot be faithful if done statically-no explanation yet (work under progress).
 Mr. interviewer you did not ask the right question whether an upmarket fuse should have value if any. In fact there was no question for any upmarket item, so no answer.
But...

Resistors have other characteristics that effect the sound. One is the

type of lead material used.

Apart from a generally soft interview with a well respected manufacturer I was not enlightened whether an upmarket fuse is audiophoolery since he claims that different type of materials affect the sound. One coin with same side?

And finally he seals it.

Finally I stopped measuring and started listening, and I realized that
the capacitor did have a fundamental flaw. This is were the ear has it all

over test equipment.
