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

The Exicons I use in my mono paired amps have no internal protection diodes either..without them you have lower capacitance which makes for greater speed and high frequency extension. Not koo koo just more and better music. Tom

Well, I admit... I hate it when someone comes up with a new tweak that maters. Let’s say you have a well constructed synergistic $100K system...  $2K power cords definitely can highly improve the system sound... a easy choice since $2K added to a a component upgrade does nothing. Sounds like you can try the “cheap” $71 fuses and see if they are worth it in your system. If they are try the next step... If it improves the sound more than my last power cord swap $2K it would be a cheap tweak. I’ll be pretty happy every time I sit down and listen. 

Fuses are in line for setup and tests and then replaced with N45 cryod magnets

Only one thing needs to be said

OP, I would have no trouble spending your money on these and recommend them highly. When can I expect the funds?

No.  I think it is cheap.

You should buy it by the pound :-)
