Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...


I’ve bought 5 Audio Horizons Platinum fuses a couple of months ago, for my amps, speakers and DAC.
Three days ago, coincidentially, the 5A fuses on my mono amps (Rogue Apollos), blew at the same time on start up. Replaced them with the OEM fuses, and everything works again.
I have a very good electrical installation, with independent lines for each amp, a no surges or anything strange occurred. My speakers, Evolution Acoustics MM3s are always ON, and nothing happened to the fuses on them.
I emailed Joseph Chow inmediately and his response was to send the fuses back to him (at my cost, I live in Ecuador...), to repair them for $70/each, plus shipping.
I have paid $138 for each fuse in October, and no warranty?... what a shame!!!
Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!!

Go back through the fuse threads and you'll see that this argument has already been shot down. Properly made fuses should show no signs of wear unless they are cheaply made. All they have to do is blow when required. 

Now imagine the silliness of an argument that purports that hundreds, if not thousands of people succumb to expectation bias when it comes to fuses. Now attribute that silliness to the people who bring it up over and over again.

PADIS are ISO certified and I believe HiFi Tuning fuses are as well. I would venture to say, without looking it up, that all fuses made in Germany are ISO certified or they wouldn't be sold. They have their standards as well as us.

And let's not forget ISO certified devices which are safe to use in all countries. Even in America.
Sorry to hear about your experience with the Audio Horizon fuses. They are expensive. May I suggest you try the Brimar Audio fuses?
I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.
