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 

I have now purchased these a few times and @douglas_schroeder  I did measure directional resistance before putting them in, not sure that direction matters, but I figured "why not"..

So does an 18 gauge cable sound better than a 10 gauge cable? 
Does any fuse sound as good as no fuse? 
If no fuse truly sounds better, why can't fuses sound differently? 
I've never had the heart to purchase any crazy expensive fuses, but I have twice purchased cheap designer fuses on Fleabay. 
They are called Aucharm..... They were not a different world over stock fuses, but you could hear them.  Still don't have the guts to buy mega buck fuses, but I can say that fuses can make some sort of difference, for me not huge, but these fuses were like $4 or so.
