Something For The Fuse Guys ...

One can set one's watch, clock, sundial, or even start a new entry in the Farmer's Almanac with the regularity that this topic comes up with. 👍

All the best,

Nah. The Farmer's Almanac was put out annually. The fuses, every two years or thereabouts. 

Take the blue pill!

I have always bypassed the speaker protection fuses on amplifiers, with the exact same response quoted by that P.S.Audio guy, as I do not remember his name. Why should I ?,  because he does not know how anything works. Kidding, of course, about not remembering Paul's name. The first and foremost reason that manufacturers use fuses, is for protection, and safety. The inexpensive, and basic Bussman or Little fuse, does this particular job well. The supplied 16 ( maybe 14 ) gauge power cord, same thing. Most of us remember the absence of the iec inlet on products. Tube manufacturers, ime, never include the most expensive tubes. They do not use the most expensive isolation feet ( these are examples )...These are all offered as aftermarket items, and the manufacturers leave this to the buyers. Never the finest capacitors in speakers, and other gear....Products, are manufactured, always meeting a price point. All answers as to why upgraded fuses are not included with the gear. Enough of my jargon...Enjoy ! MrD.

"Upgraded fuses" are still simply fuses...they're not supposed to do  anything but fail if needed unlike tubes, isolation feet, and most other explainable items...manufacturers of high end products certainly do include the best tubes and other components that matter, and generally exclude those that don't.
