We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

czarivey,

What a brilliant idea....why don’t you do that and make some quick bucks!!!

Such wit, and spelling.

Fuse is easiest to copy and resell
just put there right color, letters and sell on internet to foolish audiophiles LOL!!!

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, 

2. Have you ever tried them? Yes

I've tried three different brands and they all had their own sonic signature and each brand sounded better in one direction over the other.

There was a money back guarantee on all brands and all it cost was the price of shipping if I didn't keep them. I've returned things before that didn't impress me and they were more of a hassle to ship than a few fuses. They work, and if you haven't tried them, your opinion of them is not objective.

All the best,
Nonoise

It appears to be a common misconception that high end fuses have to expensive. That simply isn’t true, you know, no matter how hard they beat the drum. In fact the Cable Company page for fuses indicates many or maybe most high end fuses are less than $50. Some are much less than that. You’d have be a really down and out case to consider that expensive.

Seems we have one answer of A and Yes, and three of B and No. It will be interesting to see if the skepticism rate hovers around 75% as responses accumulate. 

Whether they make a difference or not or if the difference is worth the asking price or not, the products come across as snake oil by any objective analysis regardless in most cases in that there is usually little information provided by the makers and people who pitch them often pitch them with no reservations and discount any dissenting views as best they can and still get away with it, usually by saying you gotta buy in first to know anything.

So if all that sounds good and appeals to someone, please have at it....

I just color my fuses blue. 

Send me a couple and I will try them out!

I think they are a great idea as to my ears they make a big difference but I feel you have to do the whole system to get the benefits. I use SR blue and they have made quite a difference to my system but I am waiting for the  shock horror of the naysayers so that should be fun. I feel the blues especially have opened up my system and given me more detail and less background noise. So I am all for them.
