In Reply to: "not up to spec in their capacity as a fuse" - such claims are notoriously light on evidence. posted by carcass93 on July 14, 2015 at 18:57:04:
Like 1973 shovel, I too use the term "boutique" with respect to fuses only to denote that I am referring to "audiophile" fuses or "expensive" fuses. There is plenty of testimony here and elsewhere on the internet, and directly from friends in this hobby, to the effect that such fuses can have a positive effect on sonics. So I do not dismiss the possibility. (Oddly enough, my one experience of "A/B" between an audiophile fuse and a hardware store fuse gave a result decidedly in favor of the latter, in the presence of four others with impeccable credentials superior to my own, all of whom felt the same.)
Now to get to the point: Do you mean to say here that you have personally subjected the mentioned brands of audiophile fuse to increasing known amounts of current at specified voltage and that they reliably "blow" when they should blow, based on their specs? If so, that would be important information. If not, then what are you saying? For my part, I do admit that I have no direct evidence to back up the notion that audiophile/boutique fuses are sometimes not up to spec.
