To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

you'd think for the money some of these fuses cost they could design a really good breaker so if something does go bad your not out the fuse just reset it (fix the issues of course) and go. seriously there are many small form breakers out there (hell look at the aircraft industry for example) so why not make a mini breaker that is Audiophile quality, buy once forget. I'd convert my fuse holder to a breaker in a min if it was better sounding and resettable. 

 $200-$500 fuses seem ridiculous for the money for what you get IMO. not talking about sound quality here just what you physically get for the money seems small IMO. No pun intended. kind of like cartridges oh oh opened a can a worms there sorry. not really ;-)

"Getting back to reality for just a moment, aftermarket fuses are not $200-$500. Cut me some slack, Jack. One or two are $200 + The new Orange fuse is $150, almost all the rest are around $20-$50. Check it out, Bubba! If you want to be an audiophile on the cheap just flip your Littelfuse around. "


Ok a little exadurated there admittedly but you get the point. 

I wish I got paid in US$ though, we Canadians pay 30-40% more for much of this stuff.

 the SR Black fuses are on sale right now at Parts Connxion for $160 Canadian Blues are $150. 

That said I did notice more other brands at way less money Furtec's for less then $50 so the fuse business has matured since last time I looked nice to see prices coming into the reasonable realm. 

sorry for my sensationalism, really should refrain from posting when board at work lol
