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. :)

@nonoise,

It’s best to ignore people like georgehifi...as you can see wherever he goes he brings along his cart of litter. 

He is nothing more than a ‘sweeper’ who keeps collecting dirt off internet and takes pride and joy in spreading the same litter in our forums 😉
I am a fuse adopter with a digital front end. My system has combination of SR Black’s and HiFi Tuning Supreme Au/Ag and Cu Fuses.

In direct comparison with SR Black’s and Supreme Au/Ag’s the Cu fuses in my CD player and Streamer stood out with their warm and organic presentation. 
@gdhal,

Most audio components comes standard with IEC Male Chassis Power Plug with inlet fuse holder. That’s the case with my CD player and Streamer.

My ARC components has a standard screw cap fuse holder.

In both cases, it was super easy to swap out factory installed fuse.

@mitch2, You’re spot on with Merrill amps. If I am not mistaken they comes standard with SR fuses. Merrill only uses premium parts in his amps.
