Bryon,
I read many threads, but post only when the content hits a nerve. In this case, your penultimate paragraph did. I agree with the phrase "that all men are created equal", but only when the sum of the parts are considered. As you insightfully pointed out 'we each have them in different proportions'.
To wit, everyone sees, hears, perceives, believes, etc. differently to some extent. Thus, so goes "truth". Statistics quantify perceptions, but offer nothing regarding truth. Therefore a resolution to the "truth of the matter" regarding fuse impact can never be reached simply because (in this case) truth itself is subjective.
Now that I am philosophically vented, I must admit that that my Cary SLP-05 preamp sounds significantly better with HFT SIlver Star fuses than it did with the stock fuses. And the impact and bass are better with the fuses in one particular direction. And that's the truth.
Regards,
John
