First and foremost do these expensive fuses protect your equipment?
That would be my consideration. I have no desire or have experience with these fuses. There is a discussion going on right now by designer Roger Majeski on another board. He states they are inadaquate to do the job especially on tube equipment. He has tested some samples and inspected the construction. So I would say caution is on order.
So let the opinions fly.

I wouldn't fool around with fuses that don't meet spec.
DrN,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this topic, and you've bought up a great question - I shall look up the post on the Music Reference forum and see what it's getting at?, yet I think that the designers of tube gear put them there for some sort of safety issues, but I think when one has gone through the trouble to get dedicated lines followed by better AC Outlets - Power Conditioner - Noise Surpressors and the likes, it's merely a matter of using the correct fuse rating for said amp ( or gear ) as well as what's intended to be used in any given country.
But we shall see where this leads.
Thanks again,
O_oh
I have been using these audiophile fuses for more than a decade in all my gear with great results. They have uniformly protected my system without fail, including huge ARC tube amps. Sadly (or rather, thankfully) I have a collection of incredibly expensive dead fuses as mute testament to their effectiveness for their intended purpose.
They have never failed me yet.
Not aware of anyone else experiencing any problems with them, either.
But thanks for the post. It is something I will keep in mind and do some research on.
Caution is always advisable.
Cheers,
WS
