You got that so right  mapman


A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products you have.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH THESE FUSERS, EVER!!!

Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

Cheers to those "non fusers" George

All fuses are very profitable. Always have been always will be. I’ve sold a few and seen the markup. This just takes it to the nth degree.  If audiogon were a convenience store the $100 fuses would be in the checkout aisle for impulse buyers right next to the snicker bars. 

AC mains changes it’s direction 60 x a second (60hz) so it’s impossible for a fuse to be directional, unless it’s behaving like a diode!!!, then your in real big trouble if it is trying to rectify the mains before the power supply transformer and then the bridge rectifiers


What about the electromagnetic wave that travels from source to load?

Does anyone know if this company makes their own fuses or just modify an existing manufacturers fuse?

Yep, again, a huge rort ( noun 1.INFORMAL•AUSTRALIAN a fraudulent or dishonest act or practice)
Selling a $0.50 fuse for >$150 is better than getting in on the ground floor of Afterpay when it was launched.

It’s not very often you see that kind of profit margins, especially from "back yard snake oil fuse" sellers with no overheads selling direct to the gullible with not even any middle men, save for the shillers for them here on Audiogon. (and this will only hurt Audiogon in the long run)

Go to a forum where the heavy hitters of this audio industry are, like Nelson Pass John Curl etc etc etc at diyaudio.com and see what happens to fusers over there.

Cheers George.
