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. :)

fleschler - I was not offered the stupid blind test; however, I can afford it but why would I bother since I already know how superior the SR blue and circuit breakers are to cheap fuses.


To confirm whatever difference you believe you are hearing. This is for your benefit, as in being honest with yourself.

There are no sides here, just opinions, the only sides are the ones you are making up in your head.
Of course there is, the BS "snake oil" side of fuses praying on the technically gullible here and the real Electronic Engineering side of fuses.
Ones voodoo and ones not.

Careful George...
You might just blow a fuse if you carry on!
Not sure if slow or fast blow though....

Pretty sure your attitude and verbage will not help you any in the long run.
Your insinuations that I am NOT an EE is fighting talk where I come from son.
Just a helpful hint.......
