I met a guy who had a full set of SR Black fuses and they all blew at once on a power surge. He was buying some cheaper SR20 fuses from me, because he still wanted and believed in the SR fuses but could not bring himself to outlay that much again.
The job of a fuse is to blow when needed to prevent damage to the gear. So your fuse $$$s may well go up in smoke as designed at some point. Also fuses are delicate devices that age and wear over time and require replacement at some point to function properly. So often when one hears a difference replacing any fuse a with a new fuse b that is the most likely reason for hearing a difference. That and the fact that merely reseating an existing fuse can improve the contact and make a difference. Saw this all the time even on cheaper gear in years passed replacing fuses for customers at Radio Shack and Lafayette Radio. Replacing old fuses with new was a standard maintenance thing in that fuses typically are not expensive and easy to replace like a pair of worn windshield wipers on a car.
Na, you guys are really missing the point of this thread. I outline it on page one.
Why even start a thread on this ridiculous "snake oil" Unless it’s to bring up talk on more affordable "snake oil" fuser talk
Creating a segue:
Real Estate/Car/SR, sales manual, page 34 paragraph 4 subsection 3. "how to sell "snake oil" to the gullible, and make them believe it".
