Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses

Thanks for the input. Let me say this. In response to people telling me to research the web, I have.  

2 things:
1. 99.9% of the Youtube videos related anything to SR are actually SR sponsored videos.  It's very hard to find and independent youtuber making videos about SR products.  

2. My question here isn't really whether SR fuses make a difference, it's are they better than cheaper ones from Amazon? Are SR REALLY better or different. I haven't found much at all on that.  

So I certainly have done some homework and found most threads turn into bickering back and forth making research a waste of time.

I tried $40 Furutech rhodium fuses. They definitely make a difference. Up to you if you like the sound. I should have tried the nickle or gold versions.

I can't bring myself to pay SR prices I'm afraid and I've spent $425 on an idler wheel. I've little doubt they're a good upgrade but that price... for a fuse?

@noromance  Yeah, I haven't really heard anyone talk about what's so different about them to justify the price. People say they sound better, but what's the difference in build?  Are they using different insides? 

I saw one video where someone took off the orange/white paper and discovered it's just another ceramic fuse.  Not sure how real that vid was but it's worth thinking about.

Are SR fuses just repackaged .50 cent fuses?

This is not the case this guy is wrong.

How do you know?
