Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses

@millercarbon, I respect you, your opinions, and your experience, but I have to say, I am typing this with my middle fingers right now.  

Yes better sound quality is always the goal.  How much should I study before I come here and ask a question and seek advice and direction from those older, wiser, and more experienced than I?  

I've done enough research to raise my eyebrows and ask questions. I didn't go back and obtain a post-graduate degree in the field though I have to admit. 

These kinds of tweaks, $150 fuses that MANY claim are bs, and a company that puts out some highly suspect youtube reviews/demos all with their own experts in the room are highly suspect - and worthy of asking questions and poking with skepticism.  I want to see independent third party audiophiles make videos about this.  It's more enlightening to me than reading forums where everyone demeans one another and the question gets lost in the bxtching (as has happened here).

You are right, I should try them myself, but before I order $500 worth of fuses, I'd just like to know if any one has tried other cheaper fuses and seen the same or similar improvements.   

These threads always go awry.  So to bring it back to the original question.  Has anyone tried other fuses besides $100-150 SR blue or orange?  Inferior results? 

I tried a SR red fuse that was given to me to try in my Audio Research preamp. That was the color of the day back then a few years back. Little if any difference. I put the stock fuse from ARC back in and the red fuse has been sitting idle since. 

Let me try again. The following is from the Synergistic Research Orange Fuse page:

Talk to someone at SR to make sure that you’re getting the right fuse and that you can return it if you are not satisfied. Ask any questions you have about the fuse blowing immediately or anything else on your mind. Pay for it with Paypal or a credit card.

When it arrives test it against your stock fuses or some cheap ones from Amazon for 28 days. If you think the improvement is worth the money, keep the SR Orange. If not, return it for a refund. This is the only way to be sure what works for you. No amount of research can do that.

Very hard to teach fundamental reasoning skills so this will probably be a waste of time but someone somewhere might get something out of it.

So as you can see my post wasn't really even intended for you, and I hardly needed you to prove me right. All the same, thanks.
