    In my talks with several people who actually design things like amps and DACs, not one time have I ever heard the suggestion that this would improve things. All of them instead looked at me like I was crazy.

    I actually purchased that fuse for my Stratus (out of curiosity) and noticed zero difference for what it's worth.

    As ChaCha said there is pretty much zero known reason as to why they could improve the sound.

    Never heard fancy fuses make an amp sound better, but I have heard fancy ass audiophile fuses ruin the sound.

    I have fallen once and got myself SR purple fuse and paid top $$$ for it. Well I take positive out of everything so the money was spent on a lesson for me that was - it doesn't have much say in sound quality. Although I did have some placebo, making everything sound better but alas it was gone after few days.

    Yup, it is audible. I used a $40 Hi-Fi Tuning fuse in a dac, but when I sold it, I separately sold the fuse. If you have not treated room, EQ'd speakers or HP, then do not go for this tweak ....yet :) I would be more temped to try some ceramic or filled glass fuses first or even some teflon tape damping, rather than spend $ on a fuse.

    I've heard thousands of setups from the least to the most resolving. I've never heard a difference from audiophile fuses or power cords.

    It’s like fancy connectors vs plain ol’ Neutriks, and that you found the latter to be better. Guess you just need to try to find out.

    @zerodeefex C'mon, hyperbole aside, have you actually heard stock vs audiophile fuses in even 10% of your claim? Me, only 1. Power cords, different story, dozens of cables in dozens of personal systems, ever since I started building them and buying them.

    @zerodeefex You may have heard a lot of setups and were not impressed, even if they used audiofool cables, fuses and power cables. That's ok!

    @bixby I’ve had at least a dozen people try to convince me in systems I know well. Maybe I’m deaf but zero f'ing difference.

    This feels like the type of think I'd want to see blind tested
