Ceramic fuses


Gday, Im looking at purchasing some ceramic fuses for my Primaluna gear. 
The question I have, would  a gold plated or rhodium plated fuse be the way to go? If so, which would be the better choice? 
Any information or help, would be appreciated. 
Cheers Ricey

Merry Christmas, everyone

George, I feel your frustration when dealing with these absurd claims. No amount of logic will persuade their thinking and than they turn to personal attacks if you keep presenting them with hard data. Seems there are certain rules of physics and science that just don't pertain to audio electronics.
Even NASA hasn't yet made these discovery's! But just wait till they do George, rockets will go faster and farther than ever before!
I hear a major audio manufacture just hired a few of Santa's laid off elves to work on fuses and cable risers. Seems snowballs make the ultimate cable risers, now they are working on snow that doesn't melt at room temperature.

Nonoise I haven't laughed this hard in a while. You really are funny.
I will say though that when you resort to personal attacks on me that I must have backed you into a corner. I don't know George, first time I've talked to him was on this thread. I did mention in my first post here that "No amount of logic will persuade their thinking and than they turn to personal attacks if you keep presenting them with hard data." Well, it sure didn't take long for that to happen.
George, seems were side kicks now. LOL Are you laughing at Nonoise as hard as I am? This is just to funny! LMAO!

So how many of you "fusers" are willing to do a blind listening test to actually see if you hear a difference? I think that after spending 30, 50 or 150 bucks on a fuse you will trick your mind into hearing something that doesn't exist. It's a well documented phenomenon. Very prevalent in voodoo audio.

"The harm is they convince others with less financial resources that their route to audio nirvana is through the things less likely to achieve that. The view of the audiophile as a rich old guy with excessive disposable income is often not the case with audiophiles spending what to many would be an excessive percentage of their income chasing the dream."Very well stated audio2design. Like you I don't resort to name calling and throwing insults. I talk in a calm manner and I state facts. Seems when you speak the truth some on here will try and shut you up with all kinds of insults instead of discussing the technical merits of what is being discussed. I'm really starting to believe that what George said about some folks on here being shills has more than a little bit of truth in it. I would tell anyone that is reading this and deciding if they want to buy "magic" fuses is to talk to some technically inclined  folks, maybe your electrician friend, your go to repair guy, an engineer that you know, someone that has some knowledge about electrical things and ask them if "magic" fuses pass the smell test. More than likely they will tell you that those "magic" fuses smell like rotten fish. Than tell them how much they want to charge you for a fuse that has no traceable credentials and is covered in snake oil, oops audiophile grease.
A question for you fusers, since these fuses don't have any real documentation, does my insurance policy still cover my house if it burns down because a fuse didn't do it's job? Fuses from Bussman, Littlefuse and other legitimate fuse companies have pages of documentation to support exactly how much current and for how long an over current before they will blow. Anyone sitting on the fence about fuses should visit one of their websites and enter a fuse number to get all the specs it must meet. Do you fusers get all of that with insurances? Do those fuses still do the job and meet the specs after they have been tampered with?Please don't answer with another round of insults, just point me to the supporting documents is all I ask. Should be easy on your part.
