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. :)

I think those obsessed with “designer” fuses; even though those fuses may not have generally accepted fuse rating certification-or any recognized approval from any electrical standards authority; really deserve their own web forum. Perhaps “Fuses Unlimited” ?  That would significantly lighten traffic on Audiogon :)
FUSE Fanatics Rejoice! Good news- and REAL :)
”LITTELFUSE Hosts  Speed2Design Tech Talks at NASA”.  Just Google it. 
So - is it possible the little fuse company,that operates in a manner such that they can so closely associate with NASA, can produce fuses suitable for your treasured, but earthbound stereo? “ Charlatans” were not invited. 
@geoffkait By all means Reveal the Details of this new $400 fuse - or I must assume you misunderstood 400 Amp. It’s ok,not a crime :-“/“). Just a Littel boo boo .....
@geoffkait   Is it obtuse to ask the specifics of the product you alluded to? The rest I’d yust yoking... good on the ptss :)
Designer Fuses for US Military. Silver wire,silver plated contacts. Huge variety sizes. By Littelfuse. Anyone try?
Definitely disappointing when (some) gents can’t remain focused on the positive aspects of a topic :(   
“Goofus” and his friends really “no” how to screw up a forum. Children should always be in playpens....
