We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

1)  They can be beneficial

2)  Yes (tried HiFi Tuning fuses several years ago and was unimpressed, so returned; tried SR Black last summer, same thing; tried SR Blue 3 months ago and let that check cash - - they were definitely worth it in my system).

I buy fuses for my F5 in 5 packs at AutoZone. Bussman, I believe. The IEC receptical/switch/fuse/filter module I'm using has provision for dual fusing. I use one and jumper the other. It makes NO difference regardless of how I configure it. 

If fuses make any difference, which HIGHLY debatable, every believer in them radically overstates their effect. I've seen guys here write that a fuse was so harsh as to be unlistenable before burning in. That's impossible to believe. Their snake oil. If your unit is lacking some quality a fuse adds, there are better, more cost effective ways to gain the attribute than some insanely priced inch of wire.

You fusers need a separate site. And here it is.

Given the relative length of a fuse’s wire to that of a 5 yard speaker cable - let’s say 1:500 - I’d wager that a fuse would have 1/500th of the effect on the sound of your system than a cable can, assuming you believe cables can make any discernable difference.

Go figure!

The wire in a fuse is orders of magnitude thinner than a speaker cable with proportionally greater resistance. Go figure! In this hobby it’s often the case what you believe has very little to do with it. I have used hi end fuses in the past but now currently as I’m listening off the grid, which completely avoids any issue fuses may or may not have such as distortion and noise, not to mention noise and distortion from the house AC.
