We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses


LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

dougie says "But, hey, you can reduce your expenditures on components perhaps 10%, from $5K to 4,500. That will really help you achieve your dream system in this difficult time, as opposed to buying a $50 fuse."

Not to rain on your parade, but for some of us this is just fun. I don’t dream about audio systems, my dreams are a little deeper. On the other hand, if your dream is cycling through stereo equipment I hope you have achieved nirvana.

dougie says "With the stock market now falling fuse skeptics will really be against them. Anyone whose primary objection to a tweak is monetary will never try it if their portfolio is losing. The tweak loses efficacy proportionate to their losses in the Market. ;) "

I’m really hoping you were hitting the sauce when you wrote this, so rude.

Geoff, clearly something is up with you since al wrote his piece stating that wolf was a valued member of A'gon.  Your posts have taken on a new attitude. I truly enjoy your don rickles of A'gon routine, but he had $30M when he met his maker, its a little unclear what you are getting out of all of this.
I know you don't, but my favorite is still when you called kosst_amojan "costco emojicon".  Pretty good stuff. 
Doug, if you want request the mods remove my post above please feel free to, I would myself if I could through the edit function. Sorry man, there are a lot of people who are in the market, and to somehow compare something trivial like the use of fuses to the potential decline in people’s 401K, IRAs and savings just didn’t seemed right. But again, I wish I hadn’t written anything.
cleeds, so your one of the high on life guys, or gals.  And your busting gdhal's chops for not being too afraid have tuned in and turned on along with millions of others.  Hah, that's rich, your probably on the wrong forum.
Geoff, not you, mister clear. But your position as "humble scribe" is in jeopardy.

gdhal, I think you are being spoken down to by one or more of the "high on lifers".
