@jasonbourne71 Maybe fuses make no difference in your system. In all of my friends systems and mine, fuses make a substantial difference. With Acme treated fuses, always positive. With SR fuses, it was a mixed bag (and now 10X more expensive). I won't touch fuses where the manufacturer specifies not to or where boutique fuses require higher ratings to perform without blowing prematurely.
I also have some equipment that is fuseless. Your blanket assertion is wrong just as cabling makes no difference others have stated as fact.
I use after 25 years of being a beta tester for a cable manufacturer, Blue Jeans Belden digital and XLR cabling pending auditioning higher end cables. My friends are also changed to Blue Jeans Belden. Inexpensive but impressively neutral and full frequency/dynamic/open and dependably uniform. Spend the money on the equipment first, then cabling. As to fuses, $22/$24 Acme fuses are also a huge bargain, unless one's system can't resolve those differences.
