@audioman58 , some people bring absolutely nothing useful to a discussion. They don't know what they don't know.
I try to ignore them. Why they feel the need to post on discussions such as this baffles me. It only makes them look dumb.
Everything matters, and fuses can make a huge difference in the sound of your components. Is a $600 fuse worth popping into a $6K, $8K component that already has an audiophile fuse (SR Purple in my case) worth it? I don't know. Start upping the ante to $10k-plus components and then I can start to see the value proposition. I might try one, and see if it's worth it or not. I know all of SR's stuff comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, so nothing ventured, nothing gained.
