"is to run a unit without a fuse and see what that sounds like (and tests like) and then see if we can even hear a difference when you put a fuse in"

There are people claiming certain fuses sound BETTER than bypassing the fuse! Until I try it myself, I will not rule in or rule out the possibility, but it does nauseate me a little bit that fuses exist that cost near $3000...

That's LAST years price.

If they've gone up in price 10% (like a cup of coffee has) since then, well...

... getting started. I believe their top-o-the-line Gold level comes in at $10K. I believe it has just launched.

      Errr, a fuse using AC has no direction due to the voltage passes each way (forward and backward) thru the fuse. Anything you hear is placebo effect.

        Yes, as has been covered 1000 times before. I have no subjective experience in this arena...I'm just reporting on what's currently available in the marketplace.
