You can read a lot about high quality fuses on almost any audio forum, but what about fuse holders? IMO these (should) matter too. The "problem" is, I can't find any information about existence of quality fuse holders. Are there any?

A fuse holder is simpler than a fuse. As long as its near zero ac and dc impedance, it should be good enough.Magnepan 1.6 QR Loudspeakers, Amherst A-2000 MOSFET 150 WPC Amp, Conrad Johnson PV-10A Modded Tube Line & Phono Stage, Electrocompaniet MC II Class A Head Amp, Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Cart (Stereo) , Graham Engineering 2.2 Tonearm (Stereo) , VPI Aries-1 Turntable (Stereo) , VPI Clamp, Denon DL-102 Cart, (Mono) , Luxman Tonearm (Mono) , Kenwood KD-500 Turntable (Mono) , Michell Clamp, Marantz 20B Analog FM Tuner, Pioneer SACD, Onkyo DX-6800 CD Transport, DIY 24B/192K DAC, Sennheiser HD-650 Headphones, Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp, DIY Silver Interconnects

I have a few questions.
Does anyone here really hear changes in fuses.
Fuse directions.
Tried a larger gauge fuse size
also IEC inlets by law needs a noise suppressor inside the keep noise being made by our products from going back into the power lines. Using one without it some feel improves things.analog stuff.

Yes on fuse direction. In fact, the new HFT fuses are supposed to be non-directional but I still find them directional. The little quantum dots also improve the sound of the HFT fuses. FWIW....

Yes and I've heard fuses make or break a component. In this case, the fuse made the preamplifier sound very non-linear. Then popped in one of the HFT fuses and all was better.

Fuses directional? While that might be possible in a dc circuit like the power suppy, it simply makes no sense in the mains fuse which is AC current.Magnepan 1.6 QR Loudspeakers, Amherst A-2000 MOSFET 150 WPC Amp, Conrad Johnson PV-10A Modded Tube Line & Phono Stage, Electrocompaniet MC II Class A Head Amp, Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Cart (Stereo) , Graham Engineering 2.2 Tonearm (Stereo) , VPI Aries-1 Turntable (Stereo) , VPI Clamp, Denon DL-102 Cart, (Mono) , Luxman Tonearm (Mono) , Kenwood KD-500 Turntable (Mono) , Michell Clamp, Marantz 20B Analog FM Tuner, Pioneer SACD, Onkyo DX-6800 CD Transport, DIY 24B/192K DAC, Sennheiser HD-650 Headphones, Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp, DIY Silver Interconnects

Yup, I stand corrected. If the AC mains fuse acts like a rectifier at power frequency, then direction may affect sound. But I will say that a fuse that acts like a rectifier at power frequency is a very bad ac mains fuse.Magnepan 1.6 QR Loudspeakers, Amherst A-2000 MOSFET 150 WPC Amp, Conrad Johnson PV-10A Modded Tube Line & Phono Stage, Electrocompaniet MC II Class A Head Amp, Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Cart (Stereo) , Graham Engineering 2.2 Tonearm (Stereo) , VPI Aries-1 Turntable (Stereo) , VPI Clamp, Denon DL-102 Cart, (Mono) , Luxman Tonearm (Mono) , Kenwood KD-500 Turntable (Mono) , Michell Clamp, Marantz 20B Analog FM Tuner, Pioneer SACD, Onkyo DX-6800 CD Transport, DIY 24B/192K DAC, Sennheiser HD-650 Headphones, Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp, DIY Silver Interconnects

Not sure if Synergistic research still offer a 30 day money back guarantee>? In which case there would not even be any finacial risk involved in such a endeavor.
