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’m going to do something I don’t usually do and that’s help out the pseudo skeptics."
Holy crap Geoff, is it Backwards Day? Since you are being charitable with your knowledge today, can you please explain what is this "careful testing"? Is this the opposite of "reckless testing"? Does one need to conduct "careful testing" when evaluating products that,
"do affect the sound but not in the conventional sense, as they do not affect the audio signal anywhere"
There is obviously a lot involved with this audio stuff....
psychological effects
placebo effects
expectation bias
tricks of the mind
psyching yourself out
pseudo skeptic line
conscious effects
subconscious influences
physical effects
Will tomorrow’s lesson include metaphysical effects?
What if I just want to turn on my stereo and listen?

^Well, I thought I made it clear that I'm not demanding anything 
Then why state that it behooves someone to do so?
Hearing a difference when an ordinary fuse/wire is reversed falls into the category of impossible, by my definition
Good for you. We think otherwise.
And, by your own statements, I don't need to submit any proof what-so-ever that it is in fact impossible
Goose and gander. If you really believe that, then stop saying we have a duty to.
Just pointing out that one should be honest *with themselves*
That's flat out insulting and it's about time you stop with this moral high ground of yours, implying we're not being honest with ourselves. It's so passive-aggressive and possibly, a projection on your part.

All the best,

Look, I'm truly sorry if my written replies offend you in any way.

Have you considered that "Ain't nobody messin' with you but you"?

A troll is a troll is a troll.

I don't think, for a moment, that you over did things back in the days but just enjoy talking in circles, contradicting yourself, raising trolling to an art form.

All the best,
