Hi Chuck, I have a more or less than healthy skepticism regarding expensive fuses. For one thing, if you buy an expensive fuse and stick it into a crappy fuse holder, what have you gained? However, since I suffer from audiophilia nervosa just as much as the next guy, I compromise my principles by using Acme silver fuses AND Acme silver fuse holders. The price is right, and I have no desire to think about it any further than that. I would not testify that I hear any difference at all as a result. Go to Tweaker's Asylum; those guys fuss over not only the fuse but its orientation and directionality.
