HFT Silver/Gold Fuses

[Geoffcin]

My old PS Audio 200c Signature came with them. A pair of gold plated rail fuses to be exact. I believe the argument was that the contacts were less likely to corrode and need to be cleaned. This makes good sense to me.

...I would tend to agree...that's a reasonable argument...despite the fact that there are umpteen gazillion (give or take a google or two) electronic devices that chug along quite contentedly with the nickel-plated, brass-endcap variety of fuse. In fact, I pointed out their existence in my first post to this thread... Unfortunately, that's not really what is at issue.

Since being the recipient of an ad hominem inference, I think turn-about is fair play. Is there any supportive evidence for the claims made for the product at the linked website?

Surely he can put his money (are they all that condescending?) where his mouth is...

This fuses are not from HiFi-Tuning, the quality is like standard fuse (Bussmann, Wickmann or Siba) and then gold plated, but under gold just standard!

...nothing...according to him my quotes from Wikipedia are wrong...Well, that's what you get for believing things you read on the interweb, I'd say...

Yada-yada-yada about sand and resonances...won't discuss "proprietary" info due to potential industrial espionage(for fuses???)...his products (not made by him BTW as so he states) meets European and German standards and it would be prohibitively expensive to go for UL approval...

Cloak and dagger...smoke and mirrors...pure unadulterated...

Wow, get over yourself. Look at a globe, lots of countries. The internet is an international device not your private USA only dogpatch.

Besides, on line translators are easy to find, it turns our Bernie doesn't call RL any names all the rest of us haven't.

If RL could reproduce music with a rope and pulley he would, since there have been exactly zero improvemnts to the art in the last 75 years.

Ignorance is indeed the highest form of bliss.

What part of transcription disks and audio tape recorders was inflammatory? Was it the vacuum tubes that clinched it? Not PC enough? Truth too inconvenient?

Geoff, you got some set...
