They do UK mains plugs AND socket, but they aren't gold plated. Don't they need to be? They carry the same current as the fuse. Where do you stop?

But even with the wonder fuse, you don't get a smooth flow of power. It's Altrnating current after all. the waveform is a sinusoid and the power flowing is the square of a sinusoid if the load has good power factor. More often it's even spikier. The mains is going between zero and full power and back again 100 times per second. It doesn't get any unsmoother than that.

I also thought BS1363 fuses had to have ceramic tubes and sand filling to handle high rupture currents without shattering. Are glass fuses in plugs even legal?

It's a good laugh, but their reasoning is inconsistent if not self-contradictory.

If any of this gets through to the speakers, the listener is going to notice.
