Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?

My equipment - Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp 58wpc. / Lumin A-1 DAC Streamer / Synology NAS / Isotex Aquarius Power Conditioner / Furutech Rhodium Plug / Sonus Faber Amati Homage Tradition speakers.  

I have read thousands of comments on upgraded fuses improving the performance of sound.  I am very open minded but not sold either way.  So, the question I have is....if fuses were so important, than why don't Amplifier companies all install them as OEM equipment?  To me, if they are as good as people say, that would provide companies who use them a competitive advantage?  

Every High End Audio store I go to in Phoenix have told me it does not make a difference and is a waste of money.  For the record, I have fuses purchased at an automotive store for under $10 and I think my sound is awesome.  The Company that built my amp tested the Synergistic Fuses and he emphatically said there was no difference.  

If I were to try a fuse for fun, given my equipment, what would your recommendation be to try?

Then don’t get upset when somebody calls you a liar for passing opinion as fact when you can’t back it up.
Sorry, but no on this site owes you scientific proof of anything. That doesn’t grant you permission to abuse them on this forum. Of course, that hasn’t stopped you in the past. That’s why moderators have deleted so many of your posts here. You might want to read this group's terms of service.

.... you can’t measure the difference a fuse makes. It’s because it makes no difference. Those who claim it does bare the obligation to prove it and so far there’s no proof.
Pardon me, but no one here owes you anything at all. No one here is obligated to prove anything to you at all. No one here is obligated to conform to your notions.

I don't know why I keep doing it. It's like some weird compulsion. Maybe my life doesn't have enough fantasy and fiction. I should probably go back to reading Dune.

I just don't like liars. And that's pretty much what I see here ... That's psychiatric ... Some not only buy the lie, they run with it and expand on it regardless of the truth to the contrary. ... This is like debating flat earthers. I'm wondering how many of you have magnets on your fuel lines to polarize the gas molecules.
Given your opinion of this forum, why do you continue to participate?

Now please continue with your regularly scheduled ranting

...  what you think you're hearing IS pure belief and NOT proof in the slightest. Such a semantically obvious fact illustrates how deeply confused you people are about the difference between belief and facts ... I've never seen any hobby embrace snake oil like this one! Not even close! The faith people here place in various tweaks that do nothing can only be compared to the powers the superstitious attribute to magic talismans ...
Thanks for sharing your deeply-held faith-based convictions. I think many of us had already figured them out, but this post makes them more clear than ever. The only part that I don't understand is why you're so angry with so many on this forum. Most of us are just here to have fun, it seems. What are your motivations? Is it just to proselytize?
