PROTOTYPE FUSES - NEW THREAD

My system has transformed over the years.
Age affords upgrades (modestly done).
Internet aids research and discussion.

The icing on the cake has to be power cables, interconnects, power supplies, USB/SPIDF converters, grounding boxes, fuses, isolation pads.

My ears are the tools.
My pleasure is the measurement.

I can understand why somebody would be skeptical and refrain from trying audiophile fuses, but I am perplexed as to why anyone would feel compelled to claim they do not work when they have not even tried them?

I had this exact thought when reading about isolation footers. The only difference with some here is that I never shared my scepticism with anyone. It was along the lines of "how can items placed under my amp makes a positive and noticeable difference."
You know, better separation, lower noise floor, wider sound stage etc

Ended up trying/buying Black Ravioli Pads.

Notes at the time:
"A set of 4 each for the Dac and Dac power supply.
A set of 4 underneath the amp.
It has brought all the changes I've made, together.
Synergy, I'd call it.
Really enjoying the music.
Seems that was what I was missing.
My cynicism has disappeared. BR Pads work.
Although pricey, they are well worth it; an investment."

Have since upgraded to Black Ravioli Big Pads for the amp.

Some members are not worth debating with. 
Ignoring does wonders for sanity.

I went from SR Black to Orange in my amp and Dac.

My thoughts at the time:
"Base stronger - seems to hang in the air.
Instrument separation more discernible.
Again, hearing things in tracks I'd never heard before.
Overall, a huge A+ in my view"

If Oregonpaps is right, I may have to upgrade.
