Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses

I saw this guy from YouTube say he found a huge improvement using cheap ceramic fuses from Amazon.  I wonder if there's really any difference in these and SR Orange or Blue.  

Anyone tried non SR fuses?  There's GOT to be a better priced option that's just as good.

Buckminster Fuller believed that technological advancement would one day allow humans to do “more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing.”

Seems SR has succeeded in reaching the endpoint!

I can't bring myself to pay SR prices I'm afraid and I've spent $425 on an idler wheel. I've little doubt they're a good upgrade but that price... for a fuse?

I tried $40 Furutech rhodium fuses. They definitely make a difference. Up to you if you like the sound. I should have tried the nickle or gold versions.

Try this. Wrap the glass part of the fuse with a few turns of PTFE (or masking) tape not touching the end-caps.
