My Pass Labs audio equipment manual explicitly states the same. They will not provide warranty service on equipment with designer fuses.

There are people on sites like Audiogon and US Audio Mart that would call you every name in the book for doubting $200 Synergistic fuses. Mostly, they'll call you cheap or say you can't know if they work if you haven't bought them.
On YouTube if you look up Audio Science Review, Amir who is an engineer tested a $1500 Audioquest interconnect that actually measured poorly compared to cheap stuff.
Some "afficionados" will tell you measurements mean nothing since there are so many unmeasureable characteristics of sound that affect what you hear (bullshit) ! Oh, and how can you judge when you haven't owned.
I build my own power cables and interconnects. No need for Nordost Odin ointerconnects and Kubala Sosna speaker cables (ONLY $30,000 for a 10' pair). Scamerola!
