Nonoise, the original poster (RAM) of your copied quotation is an accomplished audio designer, for what it’s worth. So it’s surprising that he would simply write off the notion of fuses having an audible characteristic based upon only theoretical considerations. I don’t know if he even listens to his designs before they head out the door. The vague suggestion from the designer is that if his product designs should sound superior based upon theoretical considerations, then it must be true in reality.
By contrast, Paul McGowan of PS Audio in the above YouTube clip came to the conclusion that the fuses have audible characteristics based upon listening sessions, where some “sounded better” (e.g., less grunge, greater clarity and openness etc.) than others. While Paul admitted he didn’t understand why such is the case, PS Audio include fuses having better sonic qualities in their products.
And on the assumption one can find a supplier of those Littelfuses (Mouser and DigiKey don’t carry them), they are $8-$10 per fuse to the customer, plus tax and S/H.
