Best fuses for under $50?

And I'll continue to do so, whenever I see BS posted about anything. Feel free to give your technical explanations in the contrary.

Cheers George

I buy a package of six Bussman's for under $10.

robertsong  These are all you need to buy, don't get sucked into the fuse b/s. It's started by non technical dreamers, trying to be "audio gurus".

+1.
Only the gullible get drawn into this, with expectation bias.

Will it never end???

I hope so very soon, this fuse voodoo is certifiable !!!!!!!!

tumor was much funnier than senility

My gut told me, that I was worried that you may actually have one, then that would be insensitive of me, senility was a safer option.

Cheers George

My livers fine Geoff, it’s your senility I’d be worried about.

Cheers George

Go and commit yourself Geoff, you need the rest. All you do on these forums is create arguments for argument sake.
You have no technical merit, and one day will be laughed off, like you have been on other "Tech Forums" which don't seem have "voodoo'ist followers" as there seems to be here.

 That is the type of fuse I avoid using:

All correctly implemented fuses are close to their blow point in normal operation, as if anything out of the ordinary should draw more current that's not normal it should blow to protect and keep the circuitry/pcb's from being fried to an absolute minimum.

The fuse I linked to, shows what many switch on surges can do to ANY properly implemented fuse. As current draw at "switch on" is when an ac mains fuse is taxed the most, and when weakened ones, that have seen many switch on surges can blow, even though there's nothing wrong elsewhere.

Inrush currents from moment of switch on, can cause a fuse to be weakened by many said inrush turn on’s, to a point of blowing one day, here's a visual proof.

I’ve turned my equipment on and off as much as anyone here and I’ve never had a fuse blow on me.

This is what happens to a fuse over many switch on surges. Same fuse 5 different ageing periods, it hardens, carbonises, distorts it’s straight (new) shape because of flexing and will blow in the end.
And it’s the only reason a fuse can sound better when changed. Is that when you change one that’s on the right that’s seen many switch on surges for just a brand new one of the same.
