Fancy Fuse for Regenerator?

I'm thinking of putting one of those SR Purple fuses into my P10 Regenerator. I'm  seeking opinions if this is a great place because the benefits will go to all my equipment, or if it's a waste because the power is regenerated anyway. Please don't respond if you think these expensive fuses are all a joke, as I'm not trying to start one of those downward spiraling threads. Thank you.

Because of possible power on surge, and reports of audiophile fuse sensitivity on other threads, you may want to increase fuse amp rating by 20%.

I have a PP5 that until I replaced the power cord out with an PS audio AC12 cord the sound was horrible. So knowing that fact I replaced the fuse with an SR orange I believe and yes it did make a difference, now a huge difference... no but an improvement is an improvement.

Purple works great in my P15 generator after one week of burning in.

make sure you order 25% higher amp rating, their Orange tend to blow easy at the rated amps.

A fuse that blows when used at the recommended rating is ridiculous, and SRs are known to do just that (I had one that did). I think expensive fuses aren’t so much a joke as nonsense. At least a joke is possibly funny.
