THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses?


My pal just learned of 25 dollar a pop,gold plated fuses.He is about to buy a bunch,and is giving me the "typical" pitch.This is an area I'm really sceptical about.I have no problems with tweaks,but these look like overkill.Any thoughts?

Eldartford, It seems like the issue with the fuse, and the importance of it, is where it is located in the signal path. At that point a tiny change will be magnified to a huge issue by the time it reaches the speaker cable.
Has anyone tried their breaker boxes? I saw something about them on the net yesterday. I'm curious, but based on the cost of a 20a fuse, I don't know if I can even afford to look.
What can you tell us about the Power Matrix fuses? Where did you find them? Does anyone else make an audio grade breaker box? $4000 is a lot of money, can it be done more econmicially?
Sean is it your supposition then, that some of the new high dollar fuses sound better because the contact points have been slightly cleaned by installing a new fuse?
