We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

@nonoise 
George and I have had our words. I'm glad to see he we can find agreement on some things while disagreeing on others. Too many hear just want to disagree with me because I'm me no matter what I say. 

For what some folks spend on a single fuse, I could convert my amp into a full dual mono back to the switch. I'd do that way before buying a fuse. 

kosst,
I hear you. I can't afford to buy any of the more expensive fuses either, but then, I can't convert any amp to full dual mono either. Seems like $30 was the right amount to spend for me.

All the best,
Nonoise

Imo it is irrelevant to reference DIY or Mods as an argument that aftermarket fuses are without merit. The question was not fuses in comparison to DIY and Mods, but in comparison to stock fuses. Obviously, modded gear would benefit similarly from aftermarket fuses. 

I guess the premium designers and manufacturers don't know what they are doing when they use subjective listening as their final step in tuning a design. Some of the assertions here are ludicrous and show profound ignorance of the industry activity.  :(

You really don't get it, do you? It's about the value, of which, there's none. What's the appropriate cost for a fuse in a $5000 amp? $50$? $100? How much bigger can you make the heatsink for $50 or $100? Much bigger. How much bigger can you make the transformer for $100? Much bigger. How about the filtering capacitor value? Or better filtering? That money goes much further in adding meaningful, measurable performance in other areas than any fuse will. You think real engineers are wasting their time with fuses? 

Obviously, modded gear would benefit similarly from aftermarket fuses.

WHY????? Explain this please, enlighten us.
