In this case I'd suggest if you want to hear an improvement, you will. All it really does is empty the pocket and sharpen the mind so you can hear things that were always there.
As the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.
Perhaps they are shielded so there is no Electromagnetic Interference although I'm not seeing an earthing connection so it wouldn't work.
Boy is the nut factor getting front and center around here lately. I am in awe of the number of audiolusional, SAY I JUST MADE UP A NEW DESCRIPTIVE AGON AUDIOPHILE ADJECTIVE, anyway as I was saying the audiolusionals are beating up reality lately. I never knew these alternative worlds of physics existed right next to the one planet Earth operates by. On a serious note now I would like to contribute to the arcana of alternative physics. I have found that if I use a high grade power cord for my PC and my Monitor the legibility of the fonts on the screen are dramatically improved. The joy of superior definition and sharper colors is not subtle in it's dramatic improvement. I am going to add a fuse in there too and can hardly wait for mine to get here.
This is all the romper room brigade needed: a ridiculously priced fuse to throw shade at the reasonably priced ones that can change the sound of one's system for the better.
Just how many here went to the link I provided and listened to what the engineers at Yamaha found?
I do not know who removed whose thread here, but I did remove two Stein Blue Sun Signatures from my shopping cart. I accidentally placed them there. Brrrrrr....
"So, it's official. We've found an outer limit where even MC agrees, this is Bull$$$$"
And lo and behold, yet another prophecy given to the Children of Fatima on May 13, 1917, has been fulfilled. And there was much Rejoicing (yaaaaaaaay).
I wish I had the resources to investigate this company and see what their fuse is made of, their costs and profits, and from those data, ascertain their morality.
Hey George, Did you have any hand in those Ted threads being removed? Just wondering... In regard to a fuse, yes $2,844 is more than I’m willing to pay.
If you mean my constant posts saying this "snake oil" fuse BS is only doing harm to Audiogon’s reputation, and ripping off the gullible, then yes I’m guilty.
I wonder what idiot has actually bought one of these fuses, the SR ones if purchased are certifiably already
Can you imagine the mental state of the **** wit that's trying to sells these. SR is bad enough, but this takes it to another level of being a shyster.
If I were considering such a purchase, I'd simply ask the sales person to hook up an audio analyzer, and show me the difference in output empirically. It's hard to admit, I know, but a $200 student/enthusiast grade oscilloscope is more sensitive to signal nuances than the most discerning ears, by several orders of magnitude. Odd how ads for $800 cables NEVER include any data. No numbers, no graphs, no oscilloscope screens, nothing. There's always testimony about how drastic the sound improved. If I built a component that was that noticeable, I'd commission a 3rd party lab to do double-blind testing to verify, and put that data in my advertising.
So if those fuses are $2800, I wonder how much StereoTimes got paid for that ludicrous review. There is no voracity or credibility left in the audio review arena.
"Just how many here went to the link I provided and listened to what the engineers at Yamaha found?"
Yup here
He didn't say one fuse sounded better but that it sounded "different" in their Aventage line of AV receivers
He didn't say anything about $100 or $3,000 fuses sounding better than $2 fuses
He basically said they were trying different fuses so they would have multiple sources for production, so they were probably
all
$2 fuses
Not sure that I learned anything except that some people believe different fuses can change the sound of a Yamaha AV receiver based on what could arguably be called a blind listening test.

You fuse; then you accuse other audiophile crews. You lose screws musing looking for clues. Pay your dues. Your views? Some refuse. These overused fuse views give me the blues. Confusion ensues. Time for brews. You choose.
By even starting a stupid post like this, make those that have even paid as much as $150!!! for a 10c fuse look just as gullible and been shafted big time also.
Not if you must own the worlds most expensive fuse. Impress your friends! Nobody, no skeptic can deny THAT! They probably have purses and screwdrivers that people think cost too much. But is it really the most expensive? There might be one more expensive very soon. In which case you failed. Now that fuse is maybe just maybe ok as a spare. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. It happens all the time.

Tell an engineer that he's wrong and he will hound you for the rest of your life in an attempt to convince you that he's right. It's the nature of the beast. They just cannot take criticism.
