A mate of mine noticed this recently. I can't recall seeing gold-plated fuses advertised before, but it does seem such an obvious device for parting an audiophool from their money that it must have been done before.
I wonder how you'd write the patent.
Claim 1. A new device for separating high fidelity enthusiasts from their money .....
That should be
"Unfortunately, no instructions are provided to determine correct orientation. Frankly, it really was not necessary as it was easy to tell by ear which direction the arrow should point." LOL
lol
"each fuse is tested to ensure optimum performance."

...
That url didn't work for me; instead see
"Each fuse is marked with an arrow indicating signal flow. Unfortunately, no instructions are provided to determine correct orientation. Frankly, it really was not necessary as it was easy to tell by ear which direction the arrow should point."
You might just have cornered the market on high end audio gear with that claim.
Another jewel of wisdom:
"Some believe higher performance is possible by using a fuse rated higher than the stock one."

I think the test where he could hear the difference was flawed. The fuses he tested had been previously used - therefore, they were already broken in.

ROFL!
Some years ago the local Trading Standards officers found a bloke on Bolton (Manchester) market selling "everlasting fuses". They couldn't get him for misrepresentation either- these fuses were hacked-off lengths of six inch nails.

A billion years ago, when the fuses screwed into the same type socket as a light bulb, they used to recommend a penny as a temporary replacement until you could get to town to buy a new fuse.
Then, somebody invented the fustat. ;-)

Quote: I swapped the Stingray's fuse first and upon powering up, I noted the difference right away, even from a cold start. I noted slightly greater transparency and less hash and grain, not unlike a decent power cable. End quote. LOL
I notice some carbon resistors on the mains panel where the fuse is. These should be replaced by lower noise metal film. ;-) LOL
Some years ago I was working at a place where we had the contract for all the cop car radios, but we had to do the blue lights, sirens etc., as well.
One fine day, a cop was on a chase and his blue lights went faulty and blew the fuse, so he stuffed a .38 bullet in the fuse holder to keep it going. The bullet eventually cooked off and put a hole in the side of the car. (This was central Florida, after all).

Think that's outrageous?? Check this receptacle out!!!

Bargain priced at only $147.72 each!!!!!!!!
But you get free shipping for these :-)
Unbelievable. Now all we need to do is ship bottles of audio-grade electrons. Just plug it into your gold-plated socket and it will clean all your electrons overnight. Regards,

You are way way behind us. Just paypal me $99.99 (special low price 'til end of month) and I'll email you some samples. Then updating your MP3 player is POC: you just have to connect it to your PC usb port and click the button right in the middle of the message. Then wait for a few minutes (at least 15) that all the spins align correctly and you'll enjoy a totally new sound experience.
Only $99.99, no shipping (isn't internet formidable?) and guaranteed no need for gold plated outlets and other crap that wear out.
