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

This means war!

We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! 

Oh boy, this is fun!

Not if the fuse is your spouse’s - self preservation often trumps the bank account

In a word...Yes.I imagine though that someone will think that if it costs that much it must be worth it, just not this guy.

I have relatively new Audio Research equipment.  Not long ago I contacted Audio Research for their opinion on the value of using more expensive "audiophile" fuses.  Their response was essentially if they made a difference, we would use them!  One cannot argue that AR doesn't want to use better fuses because it would increase the selling price of their equipment!
