Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?


Been reading all the interesting posts here, I've recently switched over to Audioquest silver interconnects and speaker cables, the improvement is easy to hear over OCC copper - lower noise floor, more clarity, greater transient snap, larger soundstage etc.... BUT.

I would say my system still has body, but the top end is now bright/harsh.  Could an aftermarket fuse tame this, so that I can still retain the clarity and other benefits of silver? I'm concerned that this potential solution may make my system more dynamic, and potentially give it a U or V shape sound profile - which is definitely what I don't want.

@gavin1977 Adequate break in is a good idea. It enforces a measure of discipline against rapid changes.

Have you considered adding an Equalizer? Either analog (Loki) or digital (miniDSP)? An EQ will yield more predictable results than using cables for tone control. And possibly cheaper in the long run.
