I didn't intend to sound like I was calling you out, Lew

As I said to Tre', I was actually hoping you tried Ralph's suggestion. Every time I read it, I always tell myself that I've got to try that "one of these days", but never have.

I didn't take your post as a "They can't make a difference!" position. I don't come on here to routinely disparage tweaks I haven't tried either. I only jumped in on this one because of Ralph (who's an electrical engineer, if I remember correctly) offering an easily measurable reason why fuses might make a difference.

As I've said in other posts before, my biggest hesitancy, in addition to price, is the reliability factor of these things. If I knew that a $100 fuse would open exactly the same as a $1 UL rated one would when over-loaded, I might try one. I wouldn't be happy if I fried one of my old Dynaco amps due to a fuse not reacting, but if my First Watt F1J (only 100 made) went up in smoke because of a boutique fuse not opening in time, forgiving myself would NOT be easy.
