I've been using them since 2010 so...Give them full burn in time and then report back how it’s gone.
My final eval is that they're a worthy addition especially at the price point.

I use the Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme Diamond Silver/Gold fuses on a dCS Rossini dac & clock with great results: a presentation with lower noise floor and greater realism. I also have a set of non-Diamond ones (like the ones on your pic), which I want to test, when I have some spare time.Hi-Fi tuning fuses have been around for a long time and have received positive reviews from many quarters and are reasonably priced. The Hi-Fi tuning fuses come in two varieties, line with Cardas copper wire and the other with silver/gold. This is a nice option as it allows system voicing to preference depending on the other components in one's system. After going down the rabbit hole of fuse exploration for years, I'm happy using the HFT silver/gold in my Lampizator Horizon, Taiko Extreme and Soulution 727 preamplifier and Gryphon Mephisto amps.. Having owned the precursor 725 preamp in which I used it successfully, I recently received the 727 preamp with its factory rhodium wire fuse and could not get that out fast enough to replace it with the HFT silver/gold. Keep in mind that HFT fuses are directional so feel free to experiment. The correct direction is usually readily apparent.

I am aware of both of those dealers as well as Parts Connexion here in North America as well as the distributor, Wavelength.You tried writing a dealer or two, such as VH Audio or highend-electronics? They must be in contact with the (German) company or its local importer.
Which other thread? My reference to fuses lasting used the phrase “properly chosen” because yes, I was thinking of SR. I’ve never heard of such a problem with HiFi Tuning fuses (they were my first step into aftermarket fuses, although now I’m getting out with SDFBs).
Look for one of the new threads posted by SR. The discussion would give anyone a headache and I"m loathe to mention it.
I am located in Europe, so I got my fuses from the dealer in Greece. I also had good support (via email) from a big HiFi Tuning distributor in Germany (kontakt@sieveking-sound.de). Attached is his price list.Cable Co doesn't sell them anymore. Their affiliate company used to distribute them if I'm not mistaken.
I have not made an accusation of anyone selling counterfeits. I said another company's fuses accused of being counterfeit are being discussed as being sold by one of those vendors in another thread. I have no issue with either vendor and have purchased from both, if I'm not mistaken.
I believe HIFI Tuning fuses no longer made--I may be wrong.I used Hi-Fi Tuning fuses many years ago and was happy with them.
In the last year or so, I considered revisiting their use and purchasing one or two for new components in my system.
I was a bit dissuaded by the lack of any information about Hi-Fi Tuning online and what seems like far, far fewer dealers selling them than 10 years ago or so.
Does anyone have a working link to the company's website? It seems that dealers that carry them list old models as opposed to the latest model(s) discussed above this post. Does Hi-Fi Tuning still exist as a company? The idea of sticking a diamond on their fuses seems gimmicky and makes me question if this is the same Hi-Fi Tuning as used to exist.
