RE: So these upgraded FURUTECH fuses....

Ceramic fuses do sound better than glass bodied fuses in many cases, but not close to the Furutech fuses which are the best Ive heard. Ive tried many types of generic ceramic (cryoed and not) and all of the Hifi tuning types.

Only negatives of the Furutechs are they are slightly underrated amperage wise (or are they not overrated?) and can blow with initial current in rush on some equipment. They do sound great immediately but there is a metallic lower treble which evaporates with 500+ hours of burn-in.

I think the Furutech's audible character is the copper filament.
I am also interested in a lower cost substitute and will look into these AMR fuses that someone else mentioned and the PS Audio fuses which appear to have similar materials and construction as the Furutech.
