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. :)

fleschler - As to SR duplexes and fuses, installed correctly, they are quite obvious in their audio reproduction benefit.

Then you should have no problem demonstrating your ability to reliably hear a difference in a blind test. I believe I (paraphrasing) asked/offered not long ago, and you declined.

geoffkait - That’s why humans have five senses, including the sense of hearing.

Yes, but in the case of fuses and where audio is concerned, hearing is the only sense that should be relied upon. So if your not making your determination that SR fuses are better in a blind test, you're doing it wrong.

Innocent question. Why do many naysayers seem to enjoy being kicked in the head? Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. In fact it’s a marriage made in heaven since I enjoy kicking them in the head. 😀

note to spaceman. Learn to spell or haven’t you gotten that far in school yet?

Interestingly, I found this....
Logical Fallacy, or Loaded Question;
A "loaded question", like a loaded gun, is a dangerous thing. A loaded question is a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption. The question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is loaded.
