Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?

I wish I had the resources to investigate this company and see what their fuse is made of, their costs and profits, and from those data, ascertain their morality.

"Just how many here went to the link I provided and listened to what the engineers at Yamaha found?" 

Count me in.  As far as top of the line QSA fuse and receptacle goes, nope. I rather spend $5944 elsewhere in my system.  

Hey George,
Did you have any hand in those Ted threads being removed? Just wondering...
In regard to a fuse, yes $2,844 is more than I’m willing to pay.

If you mean my constant posts saying this "snake oil" fuse BS is only doing harm to Audiogon’s reputation, and ripping off the gullible, then yes I’m guilty.

I wonder what idiot has actually bought one of these fuses, the SR ones if purchased are certifiably already

Cheers George

Can you imagine the mental state of the **** wit that's trying to sells these.
SR is bad enough, but this takes it to another level of being a shyster.

Cheers George

If I were considering such a purchase, I'd simply ask the sales person to hook up an audio analyzer, and show me the difference in output empirically. It's hard to admit, I know, but a $200 student/enthusiast grade oscilloscope is more sensitive to signal nuances than the most discerning ears, by several orders of magnitude. Odd how ads for $800 cables NEVER include any data. No numbers, no graphs, no oscilloscope screens, nothing. There's always testimony about how drastic the sound improved. If I built a component that was that noticeable, I'd commission a 3rd party lab to do double-blind testing to verify, and put that data in my advertising.
