Best fuses for under $50?

@gbmcleod - Sorry, I didn't see your new post until today (so thanks Todd for posting!). 

Thanks also for the feedback on the Furutech combination.  What are the other fuses in your NAD?  Also, I am very interested in a comparison with the BLUE fuses once you get them.

I just received my 2A PADIS fuse and am just beginning the burn in.  It's only the second hour of burn in, but my VERY initial thoughts is that the PADIS seems to be somewhat dryer sounding than the Furutech.  The PADIS does not have the typical "cold / wet / chimey" tones that fresh rhodium plated Furutech components generally have.  I don't know, maybe it's not as thick of a rhodium plating as the Furutech specification (I know Furutech likes to have a thick plating on their components).  In any event, I absolutely know that fresh items will play tricks on you and I'm sure this will change significantly over the next 200 hours.  I'll have to wait about 10 days before I post an "official" statement, which I will do in a new thread subject.

$50 each ?

I have 7 fuses on my amp , the most expensive is a Furutech as the main fuse ,

then I use 2  HiFi tuning fuses on the signal inputs and finally 4 bussman ceramic fuses on the power rails .  Total cost under $100 , but I did purchase the Furutech and HiFi Tuning fuses on sale .

you can do a diy cryo by putting them in your freezer. There's a technique, do a search

Nothing this week.

I tried to find these PADIS fuses and they have been discontinued, along with the Furutech’s which they manufactured.

The only cheap audiophile fuses seem to be all this Aliexpress stuff. Who knows what they are like - Aucharm, Gustard e.t.c
