I understand what you are saying, but the external fuse holder features tin plated brass contacts, not nickel plated magnetic steel, and won't degrade performance any greater than a typical fuse holder that all audio components must have. I'll simply be moving a fuse holder placement from one location to another rather than stepping on the performance of the Furutech FI-10 of which I already own and would prefer to use vs. the FI-03 if given a choice.
I'll put it this way: If I were given the opportunity to design an audio component from scratch, I would not implement an IEC inlet with an integral fuse holder, I would choose to use an external fuse holder like I'll do in this case. That said, if I didn't already have an orphaned FI-10 that's ready to be installed, I would be more willing to consider a new FI-03 for the application. Thanks for sharing your thinking and comprehensive ideas about the issue, bcowen!

TIN PLATED BRASS!??!?!?!?
Isn't that like stopping by Clem's Gas 'N Grub and filling up your Ferrari with 4-year old 87 octane?
Just kidding. :)
It's always nice to use what you already have instead of having to go buy something. I should learn how to do that. :)
The Radio Shack fuse holders arrived. The design features a substantially rigid polycarbonate structure with well-made tinned brass contacts as good as most HQ quick-disconnect tabs I've come across.
