Sorry oldhvy but your lack of knowledge is showing. I will say is again. Why is it that people that don't understand amps and amplifiers or power supplies are the ones that are fuses?  I have shown many so called audiophiles there fuses are all in their heads. What does that mean?
You are confused. Fuses are flat earthers. The eschew science and think since they have convinced themselves of something it must be true. You guys get just as angry when told you are wrong too.
A lot of people are more suggestible than others. Usually tied to lack of knowledge about a topic.
It is pretty much a given that any heavy promoters of fuses (except perhaps in the speaker circuit), have little to no clue how electronics, power supplies, amplifiers, etc. work. Oh sure they can wave their hands a lot, but get into the nitty gritty and they have no clue. That should be a clue.
While I am quite certain fuses in power supplies make no difference after showing that to many audiophiles in their system, I am also convinced george will never learn how electricity works and will keep bringing up AC like somehow it matters in the discussion.
Have a discussion with google, their context is still off on voice recognition hence why they correct their once and the wrong one the other time.

That said your pedantic attempt at a deflection does not change that no audiophiles who I know who claimed fuse differences could ever pass a blind test. Not one and many have very resolving systems.   Which brings us back to almost all fuse believers with rare exception don't understand power supplies or the details of amps to know how a fuse would behave in a power supply circuit
One person advocating fuses here has > 30% of their system budget tied up in cables. I can't take this persons views on anything seriously knowing that.
