I've seen those on Ebay.   VEry cool. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

Audiophile fuses - Synergistic Black fuses vs the còmpetition
well in my defense I did not attack the poster rather challenged what was asserted which was not personal opinion all are entitled to but specific metrics cited. There is a lot of made up stuff presented as fact that goes around confusing people. ... 
Audiophile fuses - Synergistic Black fuses vs the còmpetition
