We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

Thanks for thinking it through and taking the $4 challenge. 👍

Not too dear a price to see for oneself if there is something to all
of this. It opens minds as well as doors. I just wish more were 
willing to try instead of decry. 

Don't take it personally if you're deluged with demands for double
blind testing or that you're delusional or suffer from expectation bias.
For some, that $4 could have gotten a subscription to Skeptics Weekly.
😄

All the best,
Nonoise

I have now purchased these a few times and @douglas_schroeder  I did measure directional resistance before putting them in, not sure that direction matters, but I figured "why not"..

Interesting. What were your measurements?

Really!!!

So the best you can come up with is a blocked video link to a song that’s suppose to mock me. The horrors, the horrors!

Pony up the $4 and try it out for yourself or just continue, it’s of no real concern for me as it seems to give you purpose in life.

All the best,
Nonoise
