On the fuse front, if they sound so good (I havemt swapped any of my fuses, so can't comment) why don't the make the whole Main lead out of 'said' material  |

The problem with these fuses is the price. I'm not arguing if people hear a difference but someone is taking an almighty slurp. No fuse is even better (also free) and if you have a radial main you don't need them.

Why is the price an issue? If those that buy them have their eyes wide open when they purchase them and are happy to pay, what’s the problem?

Value for money and sane judgement has a lot to do with it. Might as well flush it down the toilet or perhaps better donate it to charity rather than the slurpers. |

I almost see your point of view, but look at it another way. That £90 can give me a system improvement (over a standard fuse) that I would struggle to find in any other way, bar a good support system. I already have those. Don't think of it as an expensive fuse, but as an inexpensive improvement. |

Is this still going?
Personally, I'd bypass them and 'live dangerously', being the thrill-seeking-adventurer, that I am.

No fuse is even better (also free) and if you have a radial main you don't need them. LOL straight from HFS. No one is taking a slurp at all, you lot have no real clue about business and the resultant costs. |

Well it was to be expected seeing as the "Puppet Master" directly asked his cohorts to copy his views on mains fuses across here.  file and image uploaderHe has also been asking for one of the "troops" in his self declared war to come over here and start spamming NVA to see if it will be allowed to stand. Quite why we should put up with the views and demands of a banned member via proxy is beyond me. If you are banned, it means you are not welcome, whether doing the talking yourself or working the controls. Also beyond me is why they should so desperate to re-join a group of people they repeatedly call eeediots. Sorry if that's controversial but it needed to be said. Perhaps the admin team could consider a rule to stop people posting on behalf of a banned member? |

Ask your good lady how much they spend on a hair cut/nails/make up/perfume/underwear/shoes/handbags etc.
Factor in a 50% underestimation and you have suitable justification for treating yourself to wee system improvements.

Dave I'm sure the mark up on these fuses is a lot more than most items of hi-fi along the supply chain that's all. We all know that cables have been a bit of a cash cow in the past but at least materialy they are more substantial. It's not surprising that myself and others are questioning why a fuse is as much as metre of mid range interconnect. BTW I am expressing a personal view not an HFS mantra. |

Riddle me this and riddle me that, how can fuse use so much bandwidth?

Value for money and sane judgement has a lot to do with it. Might as well flush it down the toilet or perhaps better donate it to charity rather than the slurpers. Again my point is that, if someone is willing to spend that amount of money, why does it matter and what is the problem? If you flushed £90 down the toilet you'd get nothing, whereas here we are talking about spending it on something that audibly improves your system, I am afraid they are two very different things. |

I get both points of view for a small fuse that to buy standard for a pound and then pay 90 times that amount is something not too many people will consider but I also get if you got a top notch system and something like this makes a difference to sound quality in the grand scheme of things this then becomes a relative cheap improvement.
