And if you are not looking at them you are not sure they are where you think they are

Look if someone spends £40 on a fuse and believes it improves the sound of their system and they are happy I can't see a problem and equally if because of physics or anything else someone doesn't believe that a £40 fuse can make a difference and are happy I can't see a problem. So what is the problem?

Bit of this, bit of that
You cannot hear something that you cannot measure. Measuring test gear is orders of magnitude better than any ears. Don't conflate measure with identify.
A fuse is designed to fail at a specific current after a certain period has elapsed. The only way they can let more current through than another similarly rated fuse is if they do not actually hit the spec. And given that the sr fuses do not have a bskite mark on them they are illegal to sell and use in the UK. Euro rules do not apply to UK mains fuses.

Your thinking is back to front. The mains supply does not ‘send juice’ into your equipment. The equipment draws the current that it requires. Therefore, if it can draw the current that it requires through a bog standard fuse without causing it to blow, then adding a gold and platinum fuse with unicorn skin plating and quantum tunnels will have absolutely no effect.
Really? I doubt that.
Ps. They also sound different depending on which direction they are inserted in the fuse holder.

Little bait there just waiting for a fishy to jump on it!

I always remember the bloke who brought his disco sound to light controller for a repair. He had helpfully taken the top off, and there was an odd hole with scorch marks in the centre of the PCB. It looked like an extinct supervolcano crater.

No...not exactly.
It isn't that they fit a fuse ( of whatever kind ) and are happy that is up for discussion here. It is that they state categorically that " they make a difference " " there is a clear difference " " they made a huge difference " .
Personally I'm of the 'they can spend their money on whatever they like ' school of thought but when they start making quantitive objective claims for what can only ever be subjective ( and tenuous ) 'observations' they those claims deserve to be challenged, if only to stop those claims gaining internet traction and mysteriously becoming fact.
It seems to me that some of the greatest foo proponents on here are those with the least electronic knowledge. Some of them are just plain ignorant of how electrical equipment works at all. I am amazed some of them can change a fuse in the first place.

As always the offer to come and listen to my wonderful system is open.*
SR Blue replaced the SR Red and is even better.
For those who wonder if it might just work, have a reasonable system try the 30 day return.
Those who 'know' it can't work carry on with your system performing under par.

Oh ok. Now you qualify.
I knight you with the honory order of the huge belty shiny thing of the glowing dawncrusade fuse knights.
Arise sir loon.
I’m going to quote Tesla here again for all you scientists stuck in your boxes, ranting about something your too stubborn to try.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
