Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...


I’ve bought 5 Audio Horizons Platinum fuses a couple of months ago, for my amps, speakers and DAC.
Three days ago, coincidentially, the 5A fuses on my mono amps (Rogue Apollos), blew at the same time on start up. Replaced them with the OEM fuses, and everything works again.
I have a very good electrical installation, with independent lines for each amp, a no surges or anything strange occurred. My speakers, Evolution Acoustics MM3s are always ON, and nothing happened to the fuses on them.
I emailed Joseph Chow inmediately and his response was to send the fuses back to him (at my cost, I live in Ecuador...), to repair them for $70/each, plus shipping.
I have paid $138 for each fuse in October, and no warranty?... what a shame!!!
Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!!

Whoa! Let’s not get crazy. 😜 Nobody has even lost equipment or had their house burn to the ground. The fuse failures for whatever reason prevent that. Even aftermarket fuses. 
Geoff, there is a very well documented case of a tube amp catching fire at an exhibition in Germany a couple of years ago and doing damage to the hotel room. I have also worked on amps that had burn marks on the chassis and on resistors. Now maybe the fuse is not the culprit in these fires, but I prefer to have Underwrighter’s Laboritories between me and the wall outlet.

I believe that their certification also requires the manufacturer to carry liability insurance against failures, or in the case of fuses, lack of failures. 
It coulda been anything. The whole amp catching fire thing is strictly anecdotal. You are correct, it might have been anything. If aftermarket fuses or ANY fuses caused fires they would have been litigated out of business a long time ago.
Addendum: the point about UL is actually moot. If someone is dead set on getting an aftermarket fuse but demands UL fuses, look no further than ISOCLEAN fuses, which have been around like forever and are UL listed. And they sound good. Problem solved. The only thing to fear is fear itself. 🤪
