The "Snake Oil" Trope
This is going to be my last reply to you, because you very obviously do not know what you are talking about. Silver is the best conductor of electricity, followed by copper, followed by Gold. Meaning.....Silver has the lowest resistance, followed ...

George you are an ideologue.You are talking to people that have already done all the experiments. The best fuse is no fuse, we already know this, but most equipment does not allow for the installation of breakers (and breakers also have their issu...

Gold’s electrical resistivity is 0.022 micro-ohm m at 20 °C, and its thermal conductivity is 310 W m-1 K-1 at the same temperature. The corrosion resistance of gold is possibly one of its most valuable properties.Copper’s electrical resistivity is...

In my experience parts in the signal chain affect sound just as much as parts in the power chain. There is no difference between the two, we think there is, but the reality is much different. Power cables, fuses, capacitors make pretty remarkable ...

A Gold plated filament will still act as a fuse. If the wire reaches its limit, the connection will sever itself, its basic kindergarten physics. Plating does not increase the gauge of the wire.

@georgehifi I am not selling these fuses to myself....I am making my own. How are my findings snake oil? No one is making a profit in this transaction.... there is no transaction.  
Fuses
@millercarbon yes 100%. Thermal stress on the filament has a very direct effect on sound.  wax, oil, graphene, and nano copper that these companies are using probably act as a heatsink. Your explanation makes quite a bit of sense.

@femoore12 Got it. Sorry for the confusion.

And power cables just bring AC to your equipment, and conditioners are just useless junk....... we can do this all day :) Try bypassing your fuse for 5 minutes and see if the sound coming out of your speakers changes. (try a 26/28 gauge of copper ...

You can believe whatever you want, it’s a free country (I think). I am just reporting what I am hearing.Dam/ water/ whatever else, I have all these fuses on hand, and it takes less than 30 seconds to swap them out on my DAC. I am hearing what I am...

I have found fuses to be directional, wrongly installed fuses can sound etched and tilted up in the treble (I didn’t find directionality in cheap glass fuses for whatever reason). The metals used to build the end caps and filament make an audible ...

@mitch2 https://www.powerstream.com/wire-fusing-currents.htmSolid copper has specific Wire Fusing Current ratings in air. So I am doing basic calculations to figure out what the rating of my fuses would be and adding on another 10% based on the Si...

Thank you. @georgehifi You just saved me some money, much appreciated.Also  I am making some fuses with Gold Plated OCC Copper wire from Neotech (3x).1mm strands, and some OCC Copper fuses .2mm strand. Each coming out to about 7.5-8 amps.Quick qu...

Quick question,  what is your guy's experience  with bypassing caps? Does it add anything to sound? or just smear it, and cause coherency issues? Say Duelund bypass caps, .01uf Silver foil, bypassing bigger caps on a tweeter, or even mids. Thanks.  
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
DIY.....Make your own, so you can experiment with all sorts of different cables and different constructions. Grab cheap Copper Electrical cables from Home Depot and try them out for yourself. Solid Copper cables in a litz construction sound very b...
