Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"?


Interested in both general and specific opinions/experiences/explanations etc...

Let me joint half the band, I like the fuse, I don’t like the price.

10-30.00 I can see. Over 30.00 for a fuse NO..
There has to be 100-300% mark up. NO it’s not ok...

Just like 49,000.00 amps, with circuit boards in them.. AND every part you can buy off the shelf, less the real fancy CnC cases.

10-20K Cables?

You have got to be kidding me..

I worked on Rollers (Rolls-Royce) as a kid in SF I did maintenance on them. Some of the best I ever worked on, but I couldn't afford the insurance on them. LOL I still want one...with a chauffeur..

BUT

If this is what the market will bear, then good for the company that can pull it off. They just won’t get my money..
No bad mouthing as far as "does it work".
It did for me over 50% of the time. A customer can send the other 50% back. That makes it 100% satisfaction or your money BACK..
THE PRICE, didn’t work for me, 100% of the time whether it worked or not, though. The Rolls that's different. :-)

30.00 fuse, 5,000.00 amp? I’ll take it.

150.00 fuse, 300.00 PC, 600.00 RCAs, 1K speaker cables, 300.00 amp, LOL NO!

How fortunate we are here in Italy....

Fuses in mains plugs just don't exist, must have save thousands of euros !!! over the years.

Fuse believers should please repeat after me, while slowly and periodically banging your head against a corner wall:

God grant me the serenity to accept that a fuse does not ever affect the audio performance of an amplifier, the courage to admit to that and the education to understand what a fuse really does, together with the wisdom to know the difference.

Repeat this about 10,000 times and maybe there will be some hope for you.
