Experience with high end fuses????

I tried a high buck fuse for power supply in my Exposure 2010s last February it goes in the little tray under the power cord. I was burnt out from comparing things at the time but did switch it out with the stock fuse twice . My gut feeling was the new fuse cleaned things up the image more defined but also made the stage less open and things almost sounded digital and like the top and booom of tan EQ was boosted slightly. I sat down last night and compared and indeed this is the case. As I said the high buck one seems to clean things up but also shrinks the stage and makes the sound almost processed. Has anyone had any real experience with changing fuses?? I guess one would think the manufacture of the amp voiced it with the fuse they wanted in it. keith

I have replaced ALL the fuses in my equipments with hI-FI tUNING ones and has been amazed by the improvements.I have compared them to the Isoclean,furutech and countless others and found the Hifi Tuning ones to be audibly superior after the burn in period[which is much longer than the others].In what manners are the hifi tuning fuses are superior?

1.they do not alter the basic sound of your system.This is extremely important for me;I find that the furutech fuses tend to emphasis the high;so if your system is in need for such things try them out.

2.The sound gets more holographic;the low level details come out less forcefully.

3.The brightness from certain digital recordings dissapears;likewise certain mellow recordings sound more energetics.

I must mention that all the fuses that i use are treated in the following manners;
1.I clean them with Kontak contact cleaner

2.the ends are coated with Silclear;just a tiny amount.

3.the body gets Tourmalline paint coats.

"The only way I have totally proven that they do in fact work by extending power and frequency response over standard and ceramic fuses is to actually replace every single fuse in my signal chain. Reason for most not getting full results is they start with one or two and hope for the best"

Absolutely true Undertow.....This has been my experience too......
